Status notes and comments	CIL 14, 296 Royden 1988: 75-76, no. 27; Wierschowski 2001: 416, no. 592; Rohde 2012: 168; Meiggs 1997: 215 lictor decuriarum Curiatiae quae sacris publicis apparet quinquennalis collegii fabrum tignuariorum Ostiensium sevir Augustalis in provincia Narbonensi colonia Aquis Sextis Rohde (2012: 168) assumes that Epitynchanus was a collibertus of L. Antonius Peculiaris who was 'quinquennalis' of the 'collegium fabrum tignuariorum' during the 25 'lustrum' (178-186 CE). But this is by no means certain. Meiggs and Royden assume Epitynchanus originated from Aquae Sextiae because he was 'sevir augustalis' there. But a funerary inscription from Rome attests an Epitynchanus who was 'filiaster' (stepson) of M. Antonius Hermeros (CIL 6, 17243: D(is) M(anibus) / Epitynchano fili/astro M(arcus) Antonius / Hermeros suo b(ene) m(erenti) f(ecit)) and another fragmentary inscription from Rome (also funerary) attests an Epitynchanus and an Antonia (CIL 6, 8900): ]ius / [---] l(ibertus?) / [---]IV // ] / Epitynchan[us ---] / Antoniae C[---] / medicu[s ---] / vixit ann]os ---] / m(enses) V[ Wierschowski merely notes the many connection of both Ostia and Aquae Sextiae, the former as a harbour town, the latter as an important road hub on the way from Italy to Spain (and back).
