[1] Textual note: AIO's text follows that of S. G. Byrne in D. Jordan and J. Traill, Lettered Attica, 2003, 3 = SEG 53.187, also accepting Schmalz's supplement [Μην]όδωρος in l. 15. We revise the line numbering.

This is part of a catalogue of prytaneis from a post-Sullan prytany decree (see SEG 28.95 with notes). The presence of the deme Agryle (l. 22) shows that the tribe was Erechtheis. The style of the lettering indicates a date in the first century BC and prosopographic links suggest a date in the 40s or 30s BC (Byrne), perhaps towards the later end (Schmalz). [2] The names of Valerius (l. 5), Laelius (l. 8), Ventidius (l. 15), Publius Vibius, Publicius, and Publius Servilius (ll. 19–21) indicate that they were Roman citizens. Possible descendants are attested for Valerius (IG II³ 4, 1121) and Servilius (IG II² 6367). On Athenians with Roman citizenship in this period, see Agora XV 272 with notes. [3] The cutter inscribed the letters NIK, perhaps the beginning of the Councillor's patronymic, but then erased them and replaced them with Ͻ, the abbreviation for "son of a man with the same name." [4] The end of Kallikles' name was inscribed later in small letters in between the lines; it may have been intended as a patronymic, although it is in the wrong grammatical case.
