Commentary

This Elaiitas might be the son of the priest who dedicated a bench on the Fountain Terrace (IGCyr080500) and he might also be related to a later Elaiitas (IGCyr096700).

The first letter partly seen by G. Pugliese Carratelli (SECir , 186) was not visible to C. Dobias-Lalou in 2001 and can neither be traced on the squeeze.
