| Apparatus Criticus | 1. This seems likely to be the proper name (LGPN 5A 383, citing a patronymic in SEG 34.1124.22 from Ephesos; 5B 366) rather than the common adjective. 2. This may represent an attempt to write a form of Ὑγῖνος, but the ending does not belong to that declension, and there is no sign of anything following iota. It could be the feminine Ὑγίνη, although this is not to our knowledge attested in Asia Minor. 3. It is difficult to find any sense in this line. 4. Presumably γένος; to the right of the nu no further traces are visible. |
