Comment: According to the inscription, the athlete was 'κριθεὶς ἐν Δελ/φοῖς, ἀγωνισάμενος / Νέαν πόλιν Ἄκτια', which suggests that he may not have actually competed at Delphi - perhaps because he died prematurely (at the age of twenty, see l. 9). Sarikakis interprets a comma after 'Neapolis', thus regarding Naples and Aktia to refer ti separate victories (cf. Sarikakis 1965, n. 4).
