Commentary

This inscription was published by Pugliese Carratelli in the first part of SECir from Oliverio's drawing, which is printed there. As only fragment a was to be found in the epigraphic storeroom of the Museum, Morelli published it separately in the third part of the same collection without identifying it.

In , the name is restored as Ἱππίας and the date is given as 'perhaps third century B.C.'. However, the restoration of one single letter at the end of l. 1 seems too short and the lettering is clearly earlier.

It is therefore quite plausible that this priest was the same man as ων son of Hippis, mentioned, probably as a military officer, in IGCyr009100.

Even if the god's name is not mentioned, it may be inferred from the findspot that the monument was dedicated to Apollo.
