Text Constituted From

Boulanger notebooks.

Translation

On behalf of Flavia Attalis Aeliane his wife, Titus Flavius Athenagoras Agathos set up the caryatid to the People.

Commentary

One of the series of dedications from the East Court of the Hadrianic Baths:5.209, 5.7, 5.210, 5.211, 5.212, 5.213, 5.8, and others, currently in preparation for publication by Joyce Reynolds; all are by women.

This text is the only one to name the object dedicated, as a caryatid; it seems likely that all bases in the series supported caryatids. See further Reynolds. loc. cit.
