Farrington construes this athlete from a list of victors, viz. Corinth 8.3 223, who were each prefaced by the names of the consuls ordinarii; in Farrington (2012), 148 note 484 he gives two options for the illegible consuls by whom we can date this athlete, and suggests based on that a dating for his Isthmian victories between 131-5 A.D., which is what I have filled in for date. The inscription features lines that mention 'discipline' and lines that feature 'origin'; these 'origin sentences' are all on other lines than the 'discipline' lines, and since the stone is damaged, it is hard to judge how it starts and ends, so I have chosen to follow Farrington. He gives no origin for this athlete since this 'origin sentence' is illegible. - PK
