Commentary

For a description and discussion of the statue and the sculptor see Brinkerhoff ap. Kraeling, 183, 196.12 and, more recently, see Fabbricotti, loc.cit.; for the sculptor see also Rosamilia, loc.cit.

It is possible that the statue originally stood in the Odeon where three further dedications by Kominios were found, P.92, P.98, P.99.
