Commentary

For a more complete example of a dedication by the ephebes followed by their list, see IGCyr015200.

For the syntactical display of those lists, see Dobias-Lalou, 2000 , pp. 241-246.

At line 9, Marengo's interesting restoration is ruled out through autopsy of the stone. We should thus suppose with Luni that in this instance two gymnasiarchs of the elders were on duty. The list of ephebes, with the title τριακάτιοι, would have begun just under the break.
