Dedication to Julia Domna, consort of the
Emperor Severus, erected in her lifetime. Another
dedication in her honour at Ephesos is given in
C. I. 2972 ; compare 2971. The name of the giver
is mutilated, but he had served the office of temple-
warden (ρ6θ7τοί09, ante p. 81); and I have therefore

restored line 2 after the model of the numerous
dedications from νεοποωί given in section vii (see Nos.
dlxvi-dlxxi). It is highly probable that this marble,
like most of those just referred to, was found by Mr.
Wood in the Augusteum. The date would be
between a. d. i 75-217.

DIX.

Three fragments of white marble crustce, a little over | an inch thick. From the sameness of the moulding on the left, and the similarity
of the letters and material, it is clear they belong to each other, a is entire at top and left; measures 8 in. by 8| in. b entire on
left only, measures 2| in. by 5| in. c entire on left only, measures 4 in. by 4 in. From Mr. Wood’s excavations ; unpublished.

There remain traces of a lower line: the characters are firm and chaste enough for the Augustan age.
