Commentary:
One of a series of inscriptions on the columns supporting the architrave on the stage (which carries 8.1): 8.89, 8.98, 8.90, 8.91, 8.92, 8.93, 8.94, 8.95, 8.96, 8.97 . All the inscriptions are on the stage side of the columns, and were presumably only visible to those using the stage. See Roueché, Performers and Partisans, Chapter III.
