Commentary

Line 1, the sign for 1/5 drachma (= 1 obol), instead of being angular, has on that stone a lunate shape, like at IGCyr0125002. For this reason and for some others, we do not join this fragment with IGCyr0119002, in spite of Rosamilia 2023's tantalizing suggestion (see commentary ad locum).
