Too many names might be restored as the father's name. The name of the kings of Egypt (including for some periods Cyrenaica) was very popular in Hellenistic times for people of all social levels. However, in the lower layers, it was progressively changed into Πτυλ(ε)μαῖος. The use of the traditional form shows that its bearer was sticking at some degree to traditions.
