Commentary

Morelli's reading might be accepted if we had any idea of the place where he saw the inscription. His mention 'simile alle precedenti' seems to refer to the material and shape of the altar, not to its place, as the preceding ones in his publication where seen in the Museum and at different places in the sanctuary of Apollo. Many rock-cut altars dedicated to the Eumenides are indeed to be found, at different places which are all outside the city-walls. The present item should remained unexplained until it may be traced and studied again.
