Commentary
Possibly the same man as in IGCyr078000.
As SEG Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum, Leiden, then Amsterdam, 1923-1971, then 1979- - see in bibliography , 37.1677, points out, both drawings show ΑΓΗΣΑΡΧΩ and the photograph here published for the first time does not help because of some bushes hiding the end of the name; anyway, we prefer to follow Reynolds' transcription.
