According to another view Philetairos must be identified with Eumenes’ II (197-158 BC) and Attalus’ II (158-138 BC) brother. 5. A drawing of Ciriaco d’Ancona might depict a work by Nikeratus. Its inscription reads: ‘Eumen est regis’. Cf. Λεβέντης, Ι., «Η Υγεία του Νικηράτου του Αθηναίου. Συμβολή στη μελέτη της πρώιμης πλαστικής της Περγάμου», in Palagia, Ο. - Coulson, W. (eds), Regional Schools in Hellenistic Sculpture, Proceedings of an International Conference held at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens 1996 (Oxbow Monograph 90, Oxford 1998), pp. 106-107. 6.
