Commentary

This base comes from the same tomb, unrecorded by Cassels, as IGCyr085500² and IGCyr085700² and was found during construction works in the new town of Shahat.

This Anaxippos seems to be the great-grandson of the Anaxippos mentioned as a father in IGCyr085500² and the grandson of the Telon mentioned in IGCyr085700².
