- Comments
The excavation record says that L. Robert attributed this fragment to an “honorific text of 2nd century.” One could compare the honorific inscription no. 337, where ἁγνῶς ([a] l. 10) might have its parallel here in l. 5, and the remains of δημωφελῶς ἀναστραφέντα ([a] ll. 11–12) might be found here in l. 6.
