1 cf. Sardis VII 1, no. 92 [ἐπὶ ἱερέω]ς Π̣ολεμαίου το̣[ῦ - - -]ιθέου Κ̣ερασεως; 116 ἐπ᾿ ἰερέως Πολεμαίου Κερασι β´; and here no. 601, 1. This person is also attested on coins from Sardis (see J. and L. Robert, Hellenica IX, pp. 24–25 n. 5; L. Zgusta, Kleinas. Personennamen, p. 224, § 580–81; Leschhorn, Lexikon, p. 761, Πολεμαῖος Κερασεις and Π. Κερασεως). He may be identical with the father of Sokrates Pardalas, see no. 440, 1–2 comm.

L. Robert, Villes, pp. 275–78 supposes that there is a connection between the “surnom” Κερασ(ε)ις (see also nos. 598 and 601[a]) and the city name Keras(s)a (Byzantine lists) or Κεράσσαι mentioned by Nonnos (Dionys. XIII, 466); “ce doit être alors dans le Tmôlos, aux environs de Sardes, qu’il faut chercher Kérassai…” (p. 277); see also the commentary of Dedeoğlu and Malay; H. Malay, EpAnat 39 (2006), p. 89, no. 4 (northeastern Lydia; SEG 56, 1262), 1: Πλουτίων Κερασει. On the name Κέρασος, see C. Lehmler and M. Wörrle, Chiron 36 (2006), p. 64.

3 Πανταίνετος: perhaps identical with the homonymous person in nos. 602 and/or 622.

4 Edd. prr. assume that there existed in Sardis a phyle named after Sulla (which would yield a terminus post quem); they find a mention of it on two tiles from the Artemision, in Sardis VII 1, no. 186 (ΦΥΣΥΛ); see nos. 627, 4 comm. and 628. B. Holtheide’s dating of Polemaios as stephanephoros of 109 BC is unfounded (Röm. Bürgerrechtspolitik und röm. Neubürger in der Provinz Asia [1983], p. 157 n. 275).
