Miki(on), the first magistrate for this issue, must be "a member of the famous Athenian family of that name prominent throughout the Hellenistic period", and his Nike in Quadriga symbol "is clearly a reference to the Panathenaic victory or victories" that he is known from inscriptions to have won (Thompson, p. 106)..
