The grave of such a famous person should, of course, be
treated with the respect he deserved. Before he died, the great
benefactor first built a family cemetery for his family in the city
of Rhodiapolis. Then he had his own mausoleum built at the
point that can be considered as the city square, right behind the
theatre. This is such a grave that the four corners of the burial
chamber are filled with inscriptions describing the help provid-
ed by his benefactions. The people of Rhodiapolis undoubtedly
performed rituals on behalf of this great benevolent ruler and
never forgot him.
