Herrmann’s text and restoration.
1–3 See no. 704, 1 and 2–3 comm. - διαφέρων: read διαφέρον.
8–9 Νυκταρίου: the reading is beyond doubt. Herrmann refers to Nyct[ ], CIL VI 38678; Solin, Personennam. Rom I, p. 550. He considers a confusion with the well-attested name Νεκτάριος; see L. Robert, Doc. As. Min. mérid., pp. 63–64; and J. Reynolds in Jews and Godfearers at Aphrodisias, ed. J. Reynolds and R. Tannenbaum (1987), p. 103.
