Commentary

The script is very similar to that of IRCyr2020 C.294, although both fragments do not match together. Therefore, this one should be one of the latest inscriptions presumably dating of the Hellenistic period and it might explain the use of koine at least in some names.

Both for reasons of layout and because at l. 5 there is a gap after the upsilon, it is impossible to admit with Oliverio that the preserved names were at the nominative case. They should be at the genitive as fathers' names.

According to Dobias-Lalou 2016, p. 254, this might be a list of ephebes, but too fragmentary to allow any confidence.
