Translation:
On behalf of Flavia Attalis Aeliane his wife, Titus Flavius Athenagoras Agathos (set up) the caryatid to the People.
Commentary:
One of the series of dedications from the East Court of the Hadrianic Baths:5.209, 5.7, 5.210, 5.211, 5.212, 5.213, 5.8, and others, currently in preparation for publication by Joyce Reynolds; all are by women.
This text is the only one to name the object dedicated, as a caryatid; it seems likely that all bases in the series supported caryatids. See further Reynolds. loc. cit.
