Latin inscription (fifteen fragments from a slab of white marble) on the Peirene fountain, recording the names of the members of a family, including Antonia Sosipatra, who were most probably the donors of the fountain’s marble revetments. Antonia Sosipatra is attested as the wife of P. Aelius Apollodotus and the daughter of the prominent Antonius Sospis. |
