He introduced [a poetry contest in honor of] the divine [Julia] [Au]gusta as well as [a contest for maid]ens, and after all the [buildings of the Cae]sarea were restored, he completed […] and held a banquet [for all the co]lonists. [His son, ? Castri]cius Regulus (set up this monument) [to his fa]ther in accordance with a decree of the city councilors. Translation used translated by Alexander Meeus for the Cynisca project Edition used J.H. Kent (ed.), Corinth VIII.3, The Inscriptions, 1926-1950, Princeton, NJ (1966). Commentary The date and the honorand of this fragmentary inscription are disputed: either L. Castricius Regulus or Cn. Cornelius Pulcher in the time of Tiberius or Claudius, i.e. the first half of the first century BCE (see Kajava 2002). It is generally agreed, however, that Kent’s reconstruction (in the edition used here) regarding the introduction of a contest for maidens by the agonothetes honored in the inscription is correct. This is usually taken to be a footrace because we know from the <a href="https://fdz.bib.uni-mannheim.de/cynisca/items/show/132">inscription for Tryphosa and her sisters</a> that such a contest existed in Isthmia at the time.
