The attribution of the type to Dorylaion is based upon Imhoof-Blumer's reading of the ethnic as ΔΟΡΥ. In his comment, he states that the last two letters are just partially preserved. The ethnic of the present specimen can be read ΔΟΡI with certainty. Therefore, the attribution to Dorylaion is absolutely questionable.
