Commentary

For commentary on this series see on C.336.

Line 1: Oliverio printed a figure α' but his drawing shows neither the letter nor the space for it. It seems probable that the writer omitted it by confusion with the first letter of Διοκλητιανοῦ; he may have intended α' = CE 284/5, or δ' = 288/9. The first is more likely, since the reference is to Diocletian as sole emperor.

Line 2: The priest is not necessarily the eponymous and if the date was CE 285, the year of Lysanias, see C.361, cannot have been.

Line 3: So Oliverio's drawing; he prints νεωκορ[ο- but compare C.354 for the epithet νέος.
