Commentary
This base sustained a statue of the person named in the inscription. At the nominative case, the name is a caption, so that the monument is mainly honorific. However, being erected in the sanctuary of Apollo, it is at least placed under the protection of the god and might also be taken as some sort of a dedication to him.
