commentary

The surviving manuscript tradition for this stone is extremely poor and confused. The transcription recorded by Tardia seems to conflate and repeat lines from the version of Gualtherus. The resolution proposed by Kaibel, of Gualtherus' text, as followed here, seems the least worst solution. A second, similar honorific for the same man is recorded in IG XIV.277 = CIL. X.7240 (ISic001097, also lost and preserved in the antiquarian tradition). However, ISic001660 = SEG 34.951 records honours for the father Diognetos Megas, providing some confirmation of the tradition, and confirming that Megas is a second name.
