XII. NOTES

i. Comments The break, running along ll. 4-5, has rendered the reading and comprehension of the first part of the text problematic. The text was first presented by Peristeri, who offered no exact reading of these lines, though noted that the text is a membership list of an association devoted to the cult of Apollo. Then, An.Ép. 2000: no. 1326 gave the reading: Ex̣ imperio | Apollini(s) sac̣(rum), | collegium, followed by two fragmentary lines for which no reading or restitution was offered. For Pilhofer, this should be corrected to: ex̣ imperio, | Apollini sac̣(rum), | collegium. In either case, the name of Apollo seems related to the offering and not to the association itself. In their publication of the stone, on the other hand, Pharaklas and Triantaphyllidis gave the following reading of ll. 1-5: [ex] imper[io] | Apolli[n]is A(u)g(usti?) | colle[g]iu[m] | c[ult]o[r(um)?] dei | qu[oru]ṃ [n]o[mina sub(scripta sunt)]. This would clearly be, then, the association of Apollo's cultores. In either case, the surface of the stone at the area of the break is "hopelessly worn", as indicated by the editors.
