Herrmann’s supplements and notes.
1–2 Herrmann is reminded of Τι. Κλαύδιος Μείλ[ητος] ἀρχιερεὺς τῆς Ἀσίας ναοῦ το[ῦ ἐν] Ζμύρνῃ (Sardis VII 1, no. 44, 8–10); see Campanile, Sacerdoti, p. 145, no. 174. Members of the same family are probably mentioned in Sardis VII 1, no. 93a and no. 660; cf. L. Robert, Op. Min. III, pp. 1607–12; see also Petzl, IGSK 24, 1 (Smyrna), no. 771, 29 comm.
