Commentary
One of the Sebasteion group of dedications to the imperial family (9.37=72.224, 9.38=72.237, 9.39=72.275, 9.40=73.145, 9.33=77.123, 9.26=80.172, 9.27=82.108, 9.35=82.109, 9.28=82.116, 9.34=82.117, 9.29=82.118, 9.36=82.210, 9.30=84.30, 9.31=84.31, and 9.32=84.41). On these see Reynolds (1996), Ruler-cult at Aphrodisias.
For another dedication to Drusus see Jahreshefte 53 (1981/82), 155, no.144. There, however, father and son receive their full titulature. Tiberius' lack of titles might suggest a date before his accession, or after his death.
