Note The name of the magistrate cannot be clearly read. ΚΟΡΙΝΘΟΥ and ΑΦΡΟΔΕΙΣΟΥ are the only ones attested which end with -ΟΥ, and Aphrodeisos is perhaps more likely in view of the length of the inscription. On the other hand, it might be a new name. The same reverse type is found at Nysa (https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/61541), with which Tralles shares several dies.
