English translation
Translation by: Editors
Year 9: Epagathos (scil. son) of Herakleidas, three times an ephebe.
Commentary
Another description of someone three times an ephebe is apparently recorded at T.724; for "twice an ephebe" see P.402 and T.74 perhaps T.45.i. The impression given here is that Epagathos was exceptional.
