Commentary

Morelli's reading is puzzling both because of the nominative instead of the usual genitive and of the oddity of the presumed divine name. No other altar in the Sanctuary of Apollo is dedicated to an abstract entity considered a deity. Even Panakeia has a 'personal' flare, being said daughter of Asklepios. The only similar case would be the altar of Eunomia on the Agora (IGCyr083800²), the placement of which seems to be more easy to explain in relation with the political life.
