Apparatus

Translation

G(aios) Iulios G(aius) Julius Herodes Year 17, Artaphan son of Gaios Gaius, friends.

Commentary

The large schematic wreath with pendent ribbons occupying the right side of the inscribed face probably indicates an ephebic victor, as in P.65, P.66; but there is no trace of an inscription within the wreath.

Line 6: for this ephebic term see on P.9; the plural pairs Herodes with Artaphan.
