Comment: Cf. also Moretti (1987), 85-7; place of origin and dating is taken from Farrington (2012), no. 1.104. In SEG 22.350 it is said Leon won (many times?) without falling (he was a wrestler). - PK G. Dunst (1968) dates the inscription between 191 (Elis enters the Achaean Leagues) and 146 (dissolvement of the league). The date must clearly be after 189 (instatement of the 'Ρωμαία Λητώα by the koinon of the Lycians; Tralles is remembered with this name, and not with that of Seleucia). Robert goes back to the 1st c. BC because in the inscription, the name of some races were erased at a later time, and this would lead one to think of the age of Roman civil strife when some races were established in honor of political men Romans but then abolished due to their damnatio memoriae. However, Moretti thinks this argument weak (as does Dunst, p. 143) and argues for the first half of the 2nd century BC, and more precisely the period 188-146, to be considered as the date of the inscription and, consequently, of Leon's activity. - IL
