Commentary
For the statue which probably stood on the base see Rosenbaum, 1960, no. 116, Brinkerhoff in Kraeling, 1962 p. 184, p. 204 , no. 63.
Apparently a pair with P.146; there is however no indication in the nomenclature of a direct family relationship, suggested by Brinkerhoff.
The name probably indicates a date in the late second or early third century.
