Apparatus Criticus: 1. Artemidoros is among the most popular names at Smyrna, as one can see from LGPN 5A.71, where it occupies nearly a column. 4–5. Both κύριος (20 + 400 + 100 + 10 + 70 + 200) and πίστις (80 + 10 + 200 + 300 + 10 + 200) in fact add up to 800 as isopsephisms. For the Christian character of the inscription, see Bagnall, R., Everyday Writing in the Graeco-Roman East (2011): 45.
