Agathemeros must have received the civitas under Titus2; and Apollo -
dotos Galbas was no doubt born under the reign of Galba, Claudius
Hermogenes under Claudius or Nero.
It is probable that C. Nonius Diophantos is hereditary priest, see
commentary on no. 35. His father's name, Apollonios, is derived from
one of the common Greek identifications of the Phrygian god, while his
own name is derived from the one employed in this inscription. Names
derived from Apollo are very common in the priestly families of this
district, nos. 34, 35, 56.
