[1] This funerary kioniskos for a Roman citizen of the gens Caninia bears a rectangular cutting above to support an offering. The cognomen Arkathias is rare, with only three other occurrences, all in Asia Minor. The stone was seen at the Petraki Monastery on the southeast slope of Mount Hymettos by Anthony Askew in 1747/8 and was later found reused as the altar support of the Hypapanti church in the area of the Agora, which was deconsecrated and demolished in 1938. On kioniskoi, see AIUK 3 (Fitzwilliam), no. 7, with notes.
