Commentary

No date was suggested by J.M. Reynolds in her notebook and no image is available. The date remains thus unknown.

The very faint clue for interpreting this small fragment as from a verse epitaph is the poetic character of compounds in -πάτωρ. If ever this is right, εὐπατόρων should be preferred on metrical grounds.

Metrical analysis: a dactylic segment.
