<head>Commentary</head>
<p>The inscription is one of a large number of extracts from a sacrificial calendar inscribed or recodified in the late Classical or early Hellenistic period and disseminated at various local sanctuaries, presumably as punctual reminders and short regulations in and of themselves (for the early beginning of such excerpts, cf. the closely parallel <ref target="CGRN_62">CGRN 62</ref> and <ref target="CGRN_63">CGRN 63</ref>, both from Lindos). The excerpts perhaps come from the general sacrificial calendar of the unified city of Rhodes or perhaps equally probably from that of Lindos itself. See e.g. <ref target="CGRN_115">CGRN 115</ref> for further examples from Lindos; e.g. <ref target="CGRN_110">CGRN 110</ref> for others from Kamiros. For ageneral discussion of these excerpts, see Segre and Carbon forthc.</p>
<p>Here, though the findspot is not precisely known, we may think of a sanctuary to Dionysus (apparently) without epithet, in the <foreign>chora</foreign> of Lindos. The excerpt from the calendar is extremely terse, preventing us from further identifying its point of reference: furthermore, goats were often sacrificed to Dionysus: cp. e.g. <ref target="CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref> (Thorikos), lines 33-34, and <ref target="CGRN_86">CGRN 86</ref> A (Kos), lines 58-59. For sacrifices to other gods performed by the priest of Dionysus at Kamiros, cf. <ref target="CGRN_113">CGRN 113</ref>, but these probably took place during the Sminthia (in the month Sminthios). Here, the date is known but the precise occasion remains unclear. In the reconstruction of the Rhodian calendar refined by Badoud and generally adopted here (for a different view, see Iversen), Agrianios was the tenth month (ca. May/June). </p>
