Hounourific inscription dedicated by Munatia Sabina for her husband Fabius Thisbianus. According to Oliver 1974, 137-138 (cf. 1974, 246), she should be identified with the daughter of the Athenian archon of 174/5 CE, M. Munatius Maximianus Vopiscus, but Follet 1976, 75, 517, Byrne 509 date his archonship in 182/3 CE. Her husband, Fabius Thisbianus was probably Athenian from Marathon, archon in 186/7 CE, Oliver 1974, 137-138, Byrne 509.
