Commentary

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

i: Probably Καρνήδας or Κάρνις. 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.
