This block bears one of the three preserved genitive dedications to Arsinoe Philadelphos from Paros. It probably was inserted in a bigger structure, an altar or a wall.

Di Arsinoe Philadelphos
This inscribed block bears one of the three genitive dedications to Arsinoe from Paros (cf. IG XII 5, 265, marble; IG XII 5, 266 = PHRC016, limestone). The stone was already heavily damaged at the time of its discovery, so the question rises of whether it was originally a block meant to be inserted in a bigger structure (an altar or a wall), or a small altar that has been later reworked to be turned into building material. Comparison with the Aegean documentation of the dedications to Arsinoe Philedelphos makes the first hypothesis more probable.
