Du Pseudo-Mégamédès au fils d’Eumèlos: Un dignitaire lagide honoré par un koinon de soldats à Alexandrie

Based on more complete documentation and offering new readings and a detailed commentary, this article provides a re-examination of a dedication by a military koinon discovered a few years ago and recently republished as CPI I 55. The identity of the Ptolemaic dignitary honoured with a statue around 163–145 BCE and the composite nature of the association of several military groups, some from abroad (Trales from Thrace, Masyles from Numidia), others domestic (“Persians” and Cyrenaeans), have given rise to a re-examination of the dedications made by military groups in Alexandria, Egypt and the Ptolemaic possessions.
