Which passage from the article best supports the idea that Attikos had a close personal connection to some of the people he listed on the stone tablet? Below the amphora, the inscription identifies the author of the yearbook…then dutifully names the chief Athenian official at the time as well as the superintendent of the ephebes. …the school was an ephebate, an Athenian academy where young men—known as ephebes—underwent a year of military and civics training. At the bottom of the tablet, Attikos dates the yearbook by identifying the ruler of the Roman Empire at the time, Emperor Claudius. The use of first names demonstrates their camaraderie—no need to list the last names of pals—and some are actually nicknames.
