extent, it is possible that the inscription was dedicated to Augustus:

This inscr. must be compared with the legend on coins of Philip the
elder: en • AYP • TAYKHNOC • f ■ NITP • APX • A • BAAYNAenN •
MAKE. The first archon on coins about 25° is ^e son °f Aur. Glykon
mentioned in the inscr. Niger was grandfather of the latter, and great-
grandfather of the former : the formula in the inscr. is equivalent to
rXvKwvos (TXvkuvos) tov Niypou (vlov). This formula of filiation, in
which tov is not to be taken with Niypov, but with (ylov) understood,
the (son of) Niger, is often misinterpreted by modern scholars, e.g. by
Dr. Hula1 in Eranos Findolonensis pp. 100—102, who takes the right
sense from the formula ITroAqxcuos /3' tov A^vkIov (where, of course, tov
agrees with ITroA.ep.atoi> expressed in the abbreviated way by Sis), but
interprets tov as agreeing with Acvkiov, adding the note that the article
is commonly used with the name of a grandfather or remote ancestor,
but not with the name of a father. It was also exposed to misunder-
standing among the Phrygian population, whose Greek was often very
inaccurate; see no. 211.

The epimeletai of the erection are father and son. The date in autumn
a.d. 119 shows that it cannot be inferred in such cases of foundation of
a new city that the Emperor was actually present, for Hadrian was at
Rome at that time, as Durr Seism des K. Hadriaiis p. 24 shows. Hence
we must modify the expression of M. Radet BCH 1887 p. 118, in
speaking of the refoundation of Hadrianopolis Slratonikaia, ' II est
