Abstract
The article analyzes the inscription from the Delos island (ID 2. 1603), in which the official status of Marcus Antonius Orator is designated as ταμίας ἀντιστράτηγος - quaestor-propraetor, which is the first known case of Roman republican quaestors being granted the powers of praetors (quaestor pro praetore). Other epigraphic and narrative sources are involved into analysis. The author of the article dates the empowerment of quaestor M. Antonius with the powers of propraetor to 113 BC and rejects his case as an evidence that the pro praetore proquaestors were officially called quaestors in inscriptions (as was accepted in the historiography of the issue).
