Inscription damaged, and only partially preserved. Letters Letter size=0.02m Findspot "The Cathedral" Original Context (if known) A temple to Pakeidas and Hera? Name 1 Ameros Ragelos Role 1 archibomistes dedicant Name 2 Unnamed wife of Ameros Ragelos Role 2 Dedication made on behalf of wife Notes The exact function of an 'archibomistes' is unclear, although its does not appear to be confined to a single cult or deity; this title appears in inscriptions at Gerasa associated with Pakeiades and Hera, and with Apollo (Gatier 1988, 151, no.5). Gatier (1988, 152-154) argues that the archibomistes was involved in sacrifice, perhaps serving different functions for different gods, while [Lichtenberger: βωμός ("altar") suggests that Pakeidas was depicted as an altar]. The title appears in at least two other inscriptions from Gerasa in addition to the one presented here (Gatier 1988, 151-154, nos.5-6). Selected Bibliography Gatier, P.-L. 1988.
