Commentary
For commentary on this series see on C.336.
Line 2: There is no instance of Ktistes in the formal title of the eponymus priest of Apollo that is dated earlier than CE 176; see C.306. Oliverio restored this version of the priest's title, but a simpler one, e.g. ἐπ' ἱερέως Ἀπόλλωνος or ἐπ'ιἑρέως is also possible.
