Commentary
Probably a dedication to Augustus, a member of his family, or possibly to the Θεοὶ Σεβαστοί, see C.767.
The dedicator was an adoptee, perhaps to be identified with Pausanias, adopted son of Philiskos, natural son of Euphanes, priest of Apollo in CE 2/3, see GVCyr 27, line 1, or to another member of this family; see commentary on C.41.
