I. Eph. 1615:
- With one exception, the athlete does not mention the discipline in which he competed. At the forelast, he mentions πυγμή (pugme). Moretti therefore writes 'pugilato?', which we followed in the disciplines per event.
- According to Moretti, the phrase in l. 13 'ἐποίησα δὲ καὶ Ὀλύμπια τὰ ἐν Πείσῃ ἱερά' means that the competition ended in a draw. Gouw suggests that his competitor was the famous boxer Marcus Aurelius Hermogenes, for whom a competition dated to 177 CE also ended in a draw.
- As the first lines of the inscription are damaged, it is unclear what he has won [— κατ]ὰ τὸ ἑξῆς (in a row).
The chronology of his agonistic inscription aided in reconstruction the festival calender (Gouw). In total, 18+ victories: Rhodos (2), Ephese (3), Athens, Tralleis (2), Rome, Neapolis, Nikopolis, Argos, Hierapolis, Laodikeia, Sardis, Smyrna (2), Olympia.
