Boeckla supplements CIG 3614 the inscription c to oi katoikountes en Ilio Romainon, d presumably to eph hiereos] Apollonos tou Ilieos Hermokrateus; with b he connects a fragment apparently originating from Alexandria Troas.

Dittenberger, Rhein. Mus. Vol. 47 p. 324.

Line 1: Gardthausen's reading Autokratora kaisa[ra theou] uiov is also required by the dimensions of the stone.

Behind Euthudikou is breakage ; the remainder of the vertical hasta of the following letter is so far removed from the Y that it is advisable to add it to a T. Here Melanippides, as the owner of a large hospitable house, also plays a part in the tenth Pseudo-Aeschinian epistle; for the family cf. also No. 29 line 7, No. 73 and legend on tetradrachms of the second century BC; see the section on the coins of Ilion.
