This object is unique and the lack of the name end does not help to determine its function. Although standing at a fixed place amongst altars dedicated to the Eumenides (once at least one Eumenide IGCyr133800) it cannot support, like them, offerings. If considered nonetheless as a dedication, the formula should be completed as a dative. On the other hand, as E. Rosamilia puts it, it might also be a caption for an aniconic figure of the deity (or deities). C. Dobias-Lalou adds that it might also be a sort of sign-post for the whole area of altars. Be it what it is, the reason for the stele to be movable is not clear.
