Apparatus criticus
Согласно KW над рельефом на рамке сохранились остатки одной строки с именем
и патронимиком: [- - -] Μετ[ό]χο[υ]. Другие издатели не подтверждают и не
опровергают это чтение. В настоящее время на рамке видны совершенно стертые
следы букв. Не исключаю ошибочное чтение патронимика вместо
Ἀντι[ό]χο[υ].
