Commentary

About the successive phases of the discovery and publication, see at IGCyr007400².

After O, Oliverio's copy had "altre lettere non chiare". We choose to take this O as the first letter of the father's name. It might also stand for the article ὁ, but such a formulation is not usual in other funerary mentions inside Cyrenaican tombs.
