Apparatus

49.6: no vacat signalled by MHC 2023, p. 72 but seems highly probable given general layout norms at Aphrodisias. 49.9-12 : not accurately reported by MHC 2023, p. 72 from recently found fragment IV, 1 (Plate 23). Wrapping of lines 9 and 10 not reported, fragment of line 11 misread as of line 12, and fragment of line 12 not identified. 49.40 -, 71 -, 72 - : vacats only signalled visually in MHC 2023.
