[1] This is one of ten inscriptions acquired by George Wheler on his visit to Athens in 1676 and donated to the University of Oxford 1683 (cf. AIUK 11 (Ashmolean), no. 4).

This list of names was previously believed to be a fragment of AIUK 11 (Ashmolean), no. 5, but Hitchman and Marchand (SEG 54.228) show that this is incorrect: the names on the two fragments are in a different grammatical cases, the stones are different colours and thicknesses, the lists have different interlinear spacing, the lettering is slightly different, and the chisel marks on the reverse of the stones do not match up. The lettering and spelling of the names probably indicates a date in the early second century AD. It is likely that the inscription is part of list of ephebic friends, like AIUK 11 (Ashmolean), no. 5, since most other types of name list from this period would include patronymics and demotics.

For more detailed discussion of the inscription see AIUK 11 (Ashmolean), no. 8. For a general discussion of the ephebate in Roman Athens see AIO Papers 12.
