Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus

Μάρκος Μάγνος: Hellenized Latin name ᴍᴀʀᴄᴜs ᴍᴀɢɴᴜs.

Αυρμιδαρης: Hellenized Iranian name related to auhrmazd; see Bernard in Al-Jallad and Bernard 2021.

Ουαβαλας: Hellenized whblh. The notation of gemination is inconsistent in Greek transcription, but the same name is transcribed elsewhere as Ουαβαλλας indicating that the name is Wahballāh. It appears to be erroneously in the nominative rather than the genitive.
