Commentary

The text is a running list of priests of Apollo, normally brought up to date annually with the name of the new eponymus; the priests of lines 1-5 are to be dated between 63 and 67 CE (so Marengo). Lines 1 to 7 duplicate C.265 lines 3-9. C.33 may be from a higher register of the same text. Most examples of this type come from the Sanctuary of Apollo; but it appears that a duplicate set existed in the Agora; Marengo points out that the same is true for the list of priestesses of Hera . Marengo argues that these lists are not eponymous lists, comparable with the Latin fasti; insertion of a name in such lists was an honour to be compared with a honorary decree. Marengo refers to A.3 and C.276 and M.245

Opening lines restored from C.265, lines 1-3; this is the priest of Apollo in CE 65-66. f
