Commentary

Hamilton described what appears to be this base; he records that there was 'on one side a votive inscription', which was defaced when he next saw it.

i: Pugliese-Carratelli noted the writing within and between the letters of the main text, but did not identify them as patronymics. For the patronymic written in this way, typical of ephebic inscriptions, cf. C.61, C.123, C.124, and many examples at Ptolemais: P.2, P.11, P.13, P.14, P.69, P.91, P.124, P.133, P.134, P.178, P.182, P.185, P.190, and compare P.200.

ii: Perhaps abbreviations of names for the horses? The more formal lettering may suggest that these were original to the monument.
