Commentary

It is impossible to tell how much is lost at the beginning of the lines. If it is very little, the text might be restored as above. It seems probable, however, that this Olympias belonged to the family recorded in C.41, and was perhaps sister of the Claudia Arata mentioned there as adopted daughter of a Philiskos and natural daughter of Euphanes; if so the restoration should be more like [v. Κλαυδίαν Ὀ]λυμπιάδα Φιλίσ[κω] φύσ(ε)ι δὲ ν. / [Εὐφάνευς γυμνασι]άρχω ἀρετᾶς ἕνεκα καὶ τᾶς ποτὶ τὸς / [θεὸς καὶ θεὰ]ς χάριν εὐσεβίας Κυραναῖοι. C.41 line 4 shows that the family had a connection with the gymasium.
