This inscription seems not to have been seen since it was copied by Hamilton in the mid-nineteenth century. On the office of armorum custos, see Speidel 1992, and for another eques armorum custos at Eumeneia, see Ramsay, Phrygia II 380, no. 211 (IGR IV 736: Ἰούλιος Παπίας ἱππεὺς ὁπλοφύλαξ σπείρης πρώτης Ῥαίτων). On the name Ilos, see Herrmann 1991: 81 (Greek name Ἶλος); Christol and Drew-Bear 1995: 66-8 (indigenous Isaurian name; but see Masson, OGS III 321-2). The name Gemellus was also carried by a bouleutes at Eumeneia: Robert, Hellenica XI/XII, 436-9, with Pl. XXVI 2 (Ramsay, Phrygia II 520-1, no. 361; Strubbe 1994: 109-10, no. 4; IJO II, 186; I.Denizli 148).
