Extract

Dr. Buckler's text (from Sterrett's and my copies of 1883) of a Benefaction made to the village Orkistos in 237 A.D. is a real gain. In regard to two small points I record a different opinion (as arranged with him last year). The exordium is modelled on that of Senatus Consulta and ends as usual with the statement of the place ἐν ᾿Ορκιστῷ οὐᾶι; my friend conjectures ἐν ᾿Ορκιστῶ. ἐν ᾿Ορκιστῶ Οὐά[ριος] to which there are many objections: P was not on the stone. The broken symbol is ι, not ρ or 1. Sterrett's copy confirms mine. Though I have transcribed the entire text several times, first for another friend in 1909, I have never thought it possible to restore ρ. I might hesitate to found any absolute assertion on my copy alone, for it was made with one eye on the stone and one on the workmen. Now Sterrett's copy confirms, as I study it here for the first time. My transcriptions were made from my own copy: details and comparison were left to an editor. According to the conjecture of Dr. B. the dosis is made by Ouarios Aur. Markos, but the acknowledgment is made to Aur. Markos.
