Commentary
Among the accounts of damiergoi (see IGCyr0114002), this one was the very first to be found. Therefore, Robinson was not able to interpret this tiny fragment. Marengo rightly stressed the word-parts of ll. 3 and 4 and the characteristical punctuation.
Rosamilia 2023 proposed a different display of the heading, which entails longer lines, whence the first semester being mentioned and wheat preceding barley in the list of products. Therefore, he attributes this account to his second group. Although hypothetical because of the very poor documentation, his restoration seems more convincing than the one presented at IGCyr. He gets thus the name of an eponymous priest,plausibly restored as Hiarokles.
