Commentary

This is likely to be from a building inscription, probably (from the scale) recording emperors. Perhaps [τ]ῶν καλ[λινίκων: so e.g. τῶν καλιν[ίκων ἡμῶν δεσ]ποτῶν of Justinian and Theodora PHI 319550, of Justinian alone IGLS IV. 1809 (PHI 244063). The epithet is also used of martyrs: so e.g.. IGLS V, 2530 (PHI 244809).
