Apparatus

Sherard's copy shows the first two lines of the text as missing; at some time in the transmission of his text the easy restoration was made, and was printed by Boeckh as if it had been read.

l. 4, ΛΗΩΤ S

l. 8, ΔΟΡ S.

l. 10· ΠΡΟ S.

Translation:

The People of the most splendid city of the Aphrodisians (honoured) the most splendid People of the Herakleotes, who joined in the sacrifice for the giving of the grant of the sacred contest. Under the supervision of Marcus Aurelius Antonius Neikomachos Blastos, first Archon for the third time.

Commentary:

This is one of a group of dedications for neighbouring communities: see 12.924, 12.925, 12.926, 12.927, , 12.929 and 12.930. See further Roueché PPA, ad loc. Heraklea on the Salbake river is the immediate southern neighbour of Aphrodisias; see L. and J. Robert, La Carie, ch. 3.
