Translation

Commentary

There appear to be two names listed here at different times - note the different forms of sigma in lines 2 and 3.

Lines 1-2: Perhaps a patronymic ending in -ιος; alternatively, the name of a Roman citizen, Τι. Κλαυδ/ιος might just fit the traces.

Line 2: ΥΕ is apparently one of the monograms found in ephebic texts, expressing the relationship between two ephebes.

Line 3: for the expression cf. T.74 δὶς ἔφηβος, T.44 and perhaps T.729 τρὶς ἔφηβος.

Line 4 may have given another name, but may have contained some laudatory epithet, e.g. παντάγαθος.
