Körte restored Πείσω[νος] at the end of the line; Ramsay preferred Πεισω[νιανῆς ? μνῆμα]. The abbreviation Αὐρρ. (i.e. Αὐρ(ηλίων)), like the equally common Σεββ. (i.e. Σεβ(αστοί)), is an imitation of Latin documentary practice. Compare e.g. Robert, Hellenica X, 85 (Nakoleia); SEG 40, 1251 (Phrygia: unknown provenance); MAMA I 199; MAMA I 270. An Αὐρήλιος Σάγκτος, possibly a relative, was responsible for setting up a statue of Caracalla at Prymnessos in AD 198 (MAMA IV 11). The genealogy proposed by Ramsay 1941: 254-6 is wholly fanciful.
