Commentary

Line 4: This is most probably the end of a nomen and the beginning of a cognomen e.g. [Ϲη]ϲτίου Ϲτρά[τωνοϲ] rather than a name and the title στρατηγός as suggested by Kraeling; there is so far no evidence for a στρατηγός in the ephebic organisation at Ptolemais.

Line 5: The father, in the nominative, may have been responsible for the monument.
