Commentary

The name Πυκιμήδης in this form is found only on the island, whereas Πυκιμήδα is known from Askra in Boeotia and is dated to the 8th century BCE. The name Σκαμοτίδας, in its suffixed form, is otherwise unknown (in its non-suffixed form, Σκαμότας, it is attested in Thera itself, IG XII.3.760).
