Commentary

The blocks clearly come from the opening of a text in honour of an emperor: cf. τhe formula ὑπὲρ Αὐτοκρατορος Καισαρος [...] νεικας και σωτηρίας καὶ αἰωνιου διαμονας καὶ τοῦ πάντος αὐτοῦ οἰκοῦ.

Of the emperor's name there survives only ΝΕΡ and while Νέρων is possible, the letter forms suggest a second century date and therefore Νέρουα, probably from the filiation. If the stoa is the main gymnasium, whose dilapidated state is mentioned by Hadrian , the earliest emperor likely is Antoninus Pius.
