Transliterations on Places on

[1] This is a very fragmentary prytany decree passed by the Council in honour of a treasurer of the prytany who was also high priest of the Augusti, presumably Tiberius Claudius Attikos, who is honoured for this service in Agora XV 322, ca. 120-130 AD. This inscription may be a second decree for the same service (Meritt and Traill in Agora XV), a decree for serving as treasurer to another tribe in the same year (Ameling), or a decree for service to Aiantis in a different year (Byrne, Roman Citizens , 2003, 111). The first option is the most likely. The findspots of most fragments of Agora XV 322 indicate that it was erected on the Acropolis, so this could have been a version for display alongside the other prytany monuments in the Agora (although it cannot be a direct copy). On post-Sullan prytany decrees, see SEG 28.95 with notes.

Textual note: Ameling questions Meritt and Traill's restoration of Αἰαντίδος ("of Aiantis") in l. 1.
