Text: Inscribed on one face.
Letters: 0.015-0.017; partly in counter-relief; poorly cut and shaped. Square and lunate epsilon.
Date: Perhaps third to second centuries BCE (lettering)
Findspot: Aphrodisias: Theatre: North analemma, during destruction of Mosque.
Original location: Unknown

Apparatus
The counter-relief makes the readings often difficult; it would be possible to argue for Διιωγένης and Παπίας.
