43. Pleket's article,Nikephoros 17 (2004) 77-89, does not discriminate between the classical, Roman, and Hellenistic evidence; he accepts Ebert's interpretation without recognizing the anomaly (82). There is no evidence for "stephanitic thematic games" in Hellenistic times

70. The files in the Fonds Robert show that Robert was overwhelmed by the confusing philological data, and he never came to a conclusion, beyond drawing attention to the now well-known massive prize crowns, on which D. Salzmann promises a monograph: "Kaiserzeitliche Denkmäler mit Preiskronen," Stadion 24 (1998) 89-99 with illustrations, which could now be easily supplemented. But these are not attested until ca. 160 A.D. and are irrelevant to this article

78. A particularly fine example of the insouciance with which Greek competitions of the imperial period regarded cash and crowns is provided by a new mosaic from Pozzuoli, where the oversize (metal) prize crown for the Eusebeia has a moneybag on top, marked CL, illustrated in C. Gialanella, "Il mosaico con lottatori da una villa del suburbio orientale di Puteoli," AISCOMB (2001) 599-608. This would be a brabeion plus epathlon perhaps
