Theatre frieze of a sacrificial scene. It was probably placed over the Porta Regina of the Perge theatre scaenae frons.

I have been informed the men lead sacrifical bulls to the goddess Tyche to the right. She is the Greek counterpart to the Romann Fortuna; many Greek cities honoured her as their good genius. She holds the cornucopia and a baitylos of Artemis Pergaia; at her feet to the left there is an altar for burnt offerings (holocaust).

De mannen leiden offerstieren naar de godin Tyche rechts. Zij is de Griekse tegenhanger van de Romeinse Fortuna; veel Griekse steden vereerden haar als hun goede genius. Ze houdt de hoorn des overvloeds en een baitylos van Artemis Pergaia; links aan haar voeten bevindt zich een brandofferaltaar.
