Remarks

  1. ↑ The date of the EDCS is 71/200. The RIB dates the inscription later than 161 and probably 2nd century. John Spaul dates the inscription later than 161.
  2. ↑ According to the RIB, the Calpurnius named in the inscription ( RIB 1121 ) and the Publius Calpurnius Victor named in the inscription ( RIB 1128 ) are possibly identical.
