Animals, 2004, VI, no. 81 (item one); Animals, 1986, II, no. 165 (item two); and Animals, 1996, III, no 66 (item three).
Item one: Four other inscriptions for the temple official Hygeinos Kanpylios are known, three on similar handles with mouse decoration, the fourth on a clasp-knife handle in the form of a lion pedestal. One of the handles with the mouse decoration is in the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, Mainz, and is said to have come from southwest Asia Minor. The second, said to have been found in the area of the Artemisium in Ephesos, is in The British Museum. The word neopoios tells us that Hygeinos Kanpylios was a temple official.
