Commentary

One of the many fragments of ephebic texts found in the baths, P.178 to P.198.

iii. The cutter seems to have abandoned the first line and started again on the second. For the patronymic written in small letters within and between the letters of the names, typical of ephebic inscriptions, see C.61, C.123, C.124, and many examples at Ptolemais: P.2, P.11, P.13, P.14, P.69, P.124, P.133, P.134, P.178, P.182, P.185, P.190, and cf P.200.
