Epidauros, sanctuary; an altar decorated with cymatia dedicated by Πό(πλιος) Αιλιος Διονύσιος
ο "Αντιόχου to Asclepius and to the gods in Anaceion (for the text see ARG 8).
Priest (of Asclepius)
Remarks: The identification of P. Aelius Antiochus with the homonymous father of P. Aelius
Dionysius is mentioned by Fraenkel in his commentary on IG IV 1028. For the
meaning of άκοαί (cf. 1. 10: προς ταις άκοαις εν βαλανείω..., 1. 18:...κατά τας ακοας
εκ του άβατου...) see J. Zingerle, "ΑΚΟΑΙ", ARW27, 1923, 53-6.

5. [ΤΙΤ]ΟΣ Α[ΙΑ]ΙΟΣ ΑΤΤΙΚΟΣ
IG IV 1000; IG IV 2 1, 399; Peek 1969, 95, no. 159, facsimile [έτους πα'= A.D. 204/5].
Epidauros, sanctuary; a dedication to Asclepius Soter by the person, who served as ίεραπόλος:
[Τίτ]ος Α[ίλ]ιος ΑτΙτικός, ίεραπολήΐσας έτους πα', Ι κελεύσαντι Ι 5 Διί Ασκληπιό) Ι Σωτήρι. Ι ιθ'.
Remarks: The restoration of the name is not sure. Hiller von Gaertringen in IG IV 2 1, 399
completes the name as [Γάι]ος Ίο[ύ]λιος Α.[σι]ατικος as Fraenkel in IG IV 1000;
Peek reads [Γά]ιος Α[ϊλ]ιος 'Αττικός and mentions as another possibility Π
ΙΣΣΑ[Κ]ΙΟΣ. We prefer the praenomen Titus, since it was common for Aelius and
not excluded by the facsimile: IIOCA///IOCATI TIKOC.

or more distant relative.
