Comment: Dating and origin based on Farrington (2012), 142 note 456. Heliodoros was victorious 4 times in the Spartan Ourania, refounded in 97-8 A.D., which gives a terminus post quem for the source, IG IV 591, of 109 A.D. Farrington assumes Trajan gave Heliodoros his Roman citizenship by 117 A.D. and estimates an average career length of 25 to get at a career start around 90 A.D. The source gives many victories. - PK
