Readers not familiar with the earlier ODouch volumes and the editor’s idiosyncratic style may be put off by certain aspects of this volume (e.g. the items are numbered in order of their inventory numbers, so that there is no notion of thematic order).

It records a dedication by a doctor to a number of deities. The inscription has now been published or discussed at least six times but it would seem that essential points in its interpretation have so far been missed.The text as it appears on the inscription is, for the most part, well visible and its reading uncontroversial:It is evident that the inscription is incomplete and one or more lines may be missing. The dating of the inscription is uncertain but it is commonly thought to date from the end of the second century A.D.
