Commentary
i: A building inscription, perhaps connected with work on the gymnasium itself. It could come from a lower register of the text to which T.35 belongs and may also be connected with T.36, the fragmentary Latin text recorded by Pacho.
For de/ex pecunia publica, "from public money" cf. C.166.
