| Commentary |
According to Aliquot 2015, p. 550 (translated) : "Paying homage, on the same monument, to an anonymous ancestral god, in Greek, and to the Genius of the people of the colony, in Latin, the Maximites show their fidelity to a local deity as much as to the religious institutions of Berytos. The evocation of the homeland at the end of the Greek text reinforces the patriotic dimension of their act of piety." The Maximites are known only through this texs. They organise banquets in honour of the ancestral god, most probably Balmarcod, here clearly close to Dionysus.
Selon Aliquot 2015, p. 550 : "En rendant hommage, sur le même monument, à un dieu ancestral anonyme, en grec, et au Génie du peuple de la colonie, en latin, les Maximites manifestent leur fidélité à une divinité locale autant qu’aux institutions religieuses de Béryte. L’évocation de la patrie à la fin du texte grec renforce la dimension patriotique de leur acte de piété." Le texte n'est pas versifié, mais a une allure clairement littéraire. Les Maximites ne sont connus que par ce texte. Ils organisent des banquets en l'honneur du dieu ancestral, très probablement Balmarcod, ici clairement rapproché de Dionysos.
