Commentary

Dobias-Lalou 1970 did non include it into the Cyrenaean items. However, as ϙ is now better attested, this might be after all have been inscribed in Cyrenaica.

At right end of the graffito, a vertical stroke extending to the left at top resembles no Greek letter and might be a sort of final punct. This sign is not commented upon by ed. princ.

The new personal name Κώκιος was discussed by Dobias-Lalou 1970 with reference to Robert 1963, p. 312-320.
