Ἀντωνιανὸϲ ὁ καὶ Μῶροϲ Ἐφέσιοϲ

Παρήγοριϲ

Translation

[a] Antonios Antonius also called Moros, an Ephesian.

[b] Paregoris

Commentary

The portrait statue is dated by Rosenbaum, l.c., in the second quarter of third century; for the man see also C.553. The crowns indicate that he had won at least five contests.

b: Chamoux, ponited out that Paregoris is in fact the name of the dog. It is a good name for a dog; she was dead and her image was placed upon her funerary monument on her master’s own monument.
