Commentary

The deity named Ἄναξ was identified with Aristeus by Santucci. Dobias-Lalou's proposal to identify him with Castor ( Dobias-Lalou, 2006 , pp. 94-95; SEG , 56.2024) is now obsolete (see Dobias-Lalou, 2016 , p. 171).

The personal name has no initial aspirate in this archaic spelling. Dobias-Lalou, Bulletin Épigraphique , 1999.613 mentioned a possible analysis as a compound made from Εὐ- and -ρήμων, from a series defined by Bechtel, 1917 , p. 394. However, as the dialect shows a tendency for psilosis , it might also be the well known name Εὑρήμων.
