Commentary

The provenance of this fragment was given by Pugliese Carratelli from Oliverio's papers similarly to that of IGCyr100200² and is plausibly identified as some point in Apollo's sanctuary (see also Rosamilia 2023, p. 351, footnote 2).

The lettering allows to date this list with confidence more or less in the middle of the fourth century. A more precise date is provided by Rosamilia on prosopographical grounds. This list is very similar to lists of military officers like for instance IGCyr014800². A Kallippos son of Pratomedes is mentioned there (a.ii.32) as commander of a company of four-horse chariots, whereas a Kleon son of Pollidas is mentioned as a damiergos in IGCyr012400² and also without context in IGCyr107300². All three inscriptions may be dated around 335/330 BC. So the fathers of the two men might be mentioned here at lines 4 and 7.
