Idi’atee, 2nd century
“This relief represents Idi’atee, the daughter of Si(o)na. Her attire combines Graeco-Roman and local traditions. Above her long-sleeved tunic, she is wearing a cloak fastened with a fibula adorned with a rosette. Her headgear, consisting of a turban and a diadem decorated with blank metopes, is in keeping with local practice. At neck level, her right hand clasps a veil covering her head and shoulders.
Other monuments enable us to complete her ancestry: her grandfather, Haira, is known from the funerary relief of her father, Si(o)na. Another Idi’atee, attested by a bust now in Philadelphia, must have belonged to a different branch of the family.”
