ll. 5-7: In Upper Macedonia during the Roman period, it was typical to have organizations forming a community (κοινόν, ἔθνος) composed of smaller settlements or villages that gravitated around a central urban settlement. This structure is known among the Lynkestai, Orestai, and Elimiotai, who belonged to territories referred to in historical sources as “free,” and whose existence is confirmed through inscriptions. The inscriptions also confirm that the same type of organization existed in Derriopos and Stuberra, while a similar situation is attested among the Dassaretii and the city of Lychnidos; ll. 8-9, 11-12: Next to this inscription, another statue base was found, dedicated to Insteia Nicopolis, the mother of Insteius Alexander, who, according to a decree of the council of the neocorate Septimia Aurelia Stuberra and the assembly of the Derriopes, was honored in the city with a statue as a mark of respect for her virtue. The Insteii family of Stuberra is also known from the lists of ephebes dated to 87/8, 116/7, and 121/2 AD, which were set up in the gymnasium. Members of the family are listed not only as ephebes, but one also served as a gymnasiarch and another as leader of the ephebes; in addition, a priest of Heracles from 247/8 AD is known from the same family (See ). The family almost certainly derived its nomen from Marcus Insteius, an officer close to Mark Antony, who, after coming to Macedonia following the civil wars, at the very beginning of the formation of the province, became the patron of prominent families in the region, most of whom are attested in Stuberra and Beroea.
