P Petr. II. 25(a).6 εἰς ἅρματα τὰ ἀκολουθοῦντα αὐτῶι. OGIS 533.16 (i/B.C.) ἁρμάτων καὶ κελ [ή ](τ)ων. Magn 127.4 (i/B.C.) ἅρματι τελείωι. A half-literary citation from P Giss I. 3 may be permitted in view of the interest of the document, which is a call to celebrate the accession of Hadrian. The sun-god Phœbus Apollo is the speaker, and announces himself as having just come from accompanying Trajan on high in his white-horsed chariot—
Ἅρματι λευκο ̣πώλωι ἄρτι Τραϊαν [ῶι ]
συνανατείλας ἥκω σοι, ὦ δῆμ [ε ],
οὐκ ἄγνωστος Φοῖβος θεὸς ἄνα -
κτα καινὸν Ἁδριανὸν ἀγγελῶ [ν ].
