Transliterations on Places on

[1] This statue base was dedicated by a woman whose kyrios was Eirenaios of Phyle – not otherwise known – in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665). It is dated by several officials: the priest (who, since the Augustan period, had ceased to be appointed annually and become a life office), Gaius Cassius [cognomen not preserved] of Kollytos, was either an Athenian who had obtained the Roman citizenship or (perhaps less likely) a Roman who had obtained the Athenian citizenship, and is not otherwise identifiable (Byrne, Roman Citizens of Athens, 2003, p. 101 Cassius 2); the manager (epimeletes), Titus Coponius Maximus of Hagnous, was probably a city official, and is a well known member of the Athenian elite and holder of several other Athenian offices (see IG II² 1072); the zakoros, a sanctuary official who was sometimes also a doctor, Alexandros of Oe, is not otherwise known. He does not seem to have been a Roman citizen. The archon of 91/2 AD, Quintus Trebellius Rufus of Lamptrai, was a member of the elite of his native Tolosa, and also received high honours at Athens (see IG II³ 4, 130). [2] A couple of generations after it was originally dedicated, this base was reused by Dekmos of Acharnai, who also appears as dedicator on AIUK 4.5 (BM, Dedications) no. 10, from which we learn that he was a doctor also known as Jason.
