| Comment: | NB his name has survived only partially [Septi]mios Aurelios S[erapion]; Ugolini and Gouw give his name as Lucius Septimius Aurelius Serapion. Serapion is one of the few to have won the 'complete periodos' (periodos teleios) i.e. the 'old' periodos in Greece and the 'new' periodos in Italy and surroundings). He was made xystarch. Gouw suggests he is the same person as Serapion of Alexandria (I.Eph. 4113) (Gouw). to be merged According to the inscription Serapion won the περίοδον̣ τ̣ελ̣εί̣αν. Since there is no mention to the exact festivals we can assume it refers to the classical periodos (Olympia, Pythia, Isthmia and Nemea). -EK |
