Unattested names (53): i.e., attested solely for the person in EANS; some are probably
corrupt. Compare on the one hand these eight attested but unusual names: Epidauros,
Hikatidas, Idios, Mae ̄s, Mona ̄s, Phulakos, Proëkhios, and Sardonius; and on the other these
13 names which are almost certainly to be emended and removed: Apios Phaskos, Aphros,
Askle ̄piade ̄s Titiensis, Auidianus, Kleophane ̄s, Ko ̄dios Toukos, Numius, Plentiphane ̄s,
Salimachus, Sarkeuthite ̄s, Sextus of Apollo ̄nia, Silimachus, and Trophilos. Of the 52 names
