Section I:
For a boys’ class in a musical contest (Column i, l.8), see Robert, ‘Études d’épigraphie grecque’, 55-6 (= OMS LIIL, 1155-6). For the contest diå pãntvn (Column ii, l.5) , as being a contest between all the victors, see BullÉp 1968.254. A reinterpretation of Column ii, ll.8-12 suggests that the denarius sign could not be read here, and that the letters at the end of the lines indicate sums of money, which are in keeping with other prizes for these events.
Section II:
Since the provision for equipment follows immediately on the musical events, it seems likely that this fragment is from the schedule for a musical contest.
Section III:
This anonymous contest is the most lavish of those listed. In i.5 the prize for the cyclic flautist has been amended, in line with the conjecture of Wörrle, to make the first prize larger than the second, and to bring it into proportion with the other prizes for musicians. Similarly, in ii. 5-7, the prizes require emendation, as shown by Ebert; it is the boxer and the wrestler (6 and 7) who are likely to have had prizes of the same amount (as at IV.ii.5 and 6), while the pentathlete won less (as at IV.iii.4).
