Comment: Moretti (1957), no. 560 dates the inscription (IvO 176) to the mid-3rd century BC based on epigraphic characteristics and the mention of the Soteria at Delphi (though Delphi is not mentioned in the inscription). The editors of IvO 176 give a date range from 280 to 250 BC. He then suggests the 132nd Olympiad for this victory (=252 BC). [DvdL]
