Additional comment
Avram 2012–15: Διο(–), fils d’Ἡρ(–), serait le nom d’un magistrat à vocation agoranomique, à moins qu’il ne faille quand même comprendre Διο(–) et Ἡρ(–), donc une magistrature collégiale. Si la lecture Διοξ(–) s’impose, il est possible que le magistrat soit le même que celui du n° P20.
