Commentary

One of a series of lists recording nomophylakes: C.93, C.94, C.96, C.95, C.97, GVCyr 26, all describing a series of dedications, and another list, C.98; cf also C.99; see further on C.93.

This text is singular in presenting a board of six officials only, where the Ptolemaic constitution (IGCyr010800, para. 5) provided for nine. There are nine in C.93, which might be earlier, and in C.95 and C.98, which are later, but six, plus three secretaries in C.96. It seems probable that here we have evidence for constitutional change, which was apparently temporary.
