Dittenberger (IvO 233), followed by Moretti 1957, 866, originally dated the fragmentary inscription to the second century AD. The second part of the inscription was found during excavations in Olympia (Pariente 1990, 746–748). A new edition was published by Zoumbaki 1993, who dates Cassia’s victory to 21 AD.
