Description
Summary:G. Staab has reconstructed line 12 of a fragmentary honorary inscription, found on the Nemrud-Dağ, for the candidate to the Commagenian throne, Mithradates II, using the extant letters ΛΟ𐅝 to restore them to [φι]λόσ[τοργον]. As in other royal inscriptions from Commagene, the sigma in this inscription is of a square type. However, its reading in said extant letters is not certain because the lower horizontal hasta is barely visible. To the right of this letter, at the fracture line, there seems to be a vertical hasta, so that said letter may rather be interpreted as a Pi. Owing to both this new insight and the attested titulature of the later king, the title of Mithradates II missing in this inscription is restored to  [φι]λοπ[άτορα].
