1–2 Sardis VII 1, no. 118 (Malay, Researches, no. 241, pl. 178, fig. 245) is dated [ἐ]πὶ ἱερέω[ς] Μητροδώρου τοῦ Μενεκράτου; he may also have been the eponymous priest of the present inscription (Malay). Herrmann points to Metrodoros on the coin SNG Copenhagen V, Lydia 496 from the second–first century BC being possibly identical with this Metrodoros. Buckler and Robinson (Sardis VII 1) consider the possibility that his father Menekrates could be identical with Μενεκράτης Διοδώρου of OGI 437, 93 (see here Index Pers. Names s.v.); “if so, the year of office of his son Metrodoros might have been 75 B.C.”

2 At the end of the line stood perhaps another element of the name or an iteration, e.g., τὸ δεύτερον (Herrmann).

3 Either the month Xandikos or Hyperberetaios was intercalated before the calendar reform of 9 BC; see E. Gibson, ZPE 42 (1981), p. 216; and P. Thonemann, ZPE 196 (2015), p. 137.
