[1] Parrhasios is known as ephebic hegemon (title of an adult leader of ephebes in the Roman period) from other inscriptions between ca. 211 and 227 AD (cf. Follet, Athènes, 88; Byrne, Roman Citizens, 543). On the ephebic dedications of the Hellenistic and Roman periods see IG II³ 4, 357 with n. 1. On the staff of the Roman period ephebate, see AIUK 11 (Ashmolean), no. 6 and AIO Papers 12, sect. 2.2.
