Comment: The text gives Ἀπολλώνις Ἀλεξανδρεὺς ἢ Ἡλιόδωρος, i.e. either Apollonis won the contest, or Heliodoros. His place of origin is not mentioned, but Gouw and Moretti both suggest the one in Egypt (or Africa), as that Alexandria has produced many champions of the sprint. `NB check for dates TM dates him 2AD
