Apparatus

Translations

[To Iatros Asklepios] and Iaso, [for] the victory [and salvation of] [[Nero]] Claudius Caesar [Augustus Drusus German]icus, and of his whole household; the priests [of Apollo] constructed [the images] in the priesthood of Tiberios [Klaudios] Priskos Tiberius [Claudius] Priscus, [son of Apollonios, from] the income of Apollo.

Commentary

Line 1: Iatros should be preferred, as suggested by Pugliese Carratelli, and published by Laronde, to Oliverio's Ἀσκλαπιῶ]ι which is rare in Cyrenaica. For other texts associating Iatros and Iaso see M.185, C.756, M.189, M.191, M.190, and Dobias-Lalou loc.cit. Iaso takes here the place of Hygieia who is regularly associated with Asklepios elsewhere (so B.71).

Line 3: Although not normally included in Nero's name after his accession, Δροῦσος appears in the closely parallel C.229, line 3, and seems to be required here by the line length.

Line 5: So Segré, in SEG loc.cit.; Oliverio's στεγάσ]ματα or ἀναλήμ]ματα seems too long and less appropriate to this kind of monument.

Line 6: The name is restored from C.219, lines 9-11; he is probably the eponymous priest of CE 57/58, which suggests that the victory described in line 3 is that of Corbulo in Armenia.
