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, and apparently bore caryatids (see 5.212).

Cormack conjectured that this might be the remains of 5.8 (=Robert, Laodicée du Lycos 317-318); but that was separately recorded by Boulanger, p. 35, no. 19. It may, however, be an inscription concerning the same woman.
