Commentary

In IG XII.3 the graffito was originally read as Πράγορος. In Suppl. 1445, Hiller notes: «Before the letters ΠΡΑΓΟΡΟΣ, some traces appear on the left, which could be connected with them, so that the reading should now be: Λ[αμ]πράγορος.» The apograph of the initial reading is found in IG XII.3.587. The name with the ending -ος is attested only in Thera and in this instance, whereas the variant with the ending -ας is known in Chios in three cases.
