Yazar makalesinde bir imparator azatlısı olan Flavius Helius
ve eşi Sextilia Hedone tarafından Zeus Bennios’a sunulan ve birbirlerine büyük
oranda benzeyen iki adak yazıtı aracılığıyla Helius’un resmi unvanı olan eirenophylaks
τῆς ἐπαρχείας’ı yorumlamaktadır. Görevleri genel
olarak Roma hukukunu uygulamak ve düzeni sağlamak olan eirenophylaks’lar, bir
eyalet procurator’unun altında görev yapmakta ve ofisleri conventus merkezi
olan bir kentte yer almaktaydı. Yazıtların kazındığı stellerin 2.85 m yüksekliği
ve özenli işciliğiyle, Phrygia Bölgesi’ndeki pek çok kutsal alanda ele geçen
gösterişsiz ve sade stellerden ayrıldığını, şekil ve büyüklük bakımından daha
çok Hermos Vadisi’nde üretilen mezar ve adak stellerine benzediğini vurgulayan
yazar, bu doğrultuda Helius’un çalışma ofisinin daha önceki görüşün aksine
Synnada’da değil Hermos Vadisi içinde, Sardis ya da daha az olasılıkla Aizanoi conventus
merkezinde olabileceğini önermektedir. Yazıtların çevirileri ise aşağıdaki
gibidir:
1) Vespasianus Caesar 9. kez, Titus Caesar ise 7. kez
konsülken, Vespasianus Caesar’ın azatlısı, eyaletin eirenophylaks’ı Agrostea (Köyü’nden)
Timaios torunu Glykon oğlu Titus Flavius Helius, Augustus’lar, kendisi, eşi
Publius kızı Sextilia Hedone ve oğlu Titus Flavius Sextilianus Helius için
kendi vatanı Agrostea ve Zboura’nın Zeus Bennios’una ve geleneksel tanrılara
adağı sundu.

members of the imperial familia lived within the Greek communities of Asia
primarily to administer and enforce Roman law, the surviving epigraphic
evidence for their presence mainly relates to their interaction with local
society. The dedications made to Zeus Bennios by Flavius Helius and his wife
preserve substantial information about their cultural and religious
connections. The interpretation of Helius’ official designation, eirenophylax τῆς ἐπαρχείας, is aided by consideration
of the shape and decoration of the stelai on which the texts were engraved.
