Commentary

In lettering and layout, this list very much resembles the long lists of military officers (IGCyr014800², IGCyr015100², IGCyr084000² and IGCyr091000²). This gives at least a clue for the date. As to the content, C. Dobias-Lalou tried, on behalf of the great similarity, to join this fragment to IGCyr084000². The issue was not successful.

No heading mentioning an office is preserved here. The three lines at bottom are written in smaller and tighter letters, as if the space was too small to include them. It is thus possible that what appears to be a vacat above them bore in fact a heading, now lost.

In spite of the lack of decisive proofs this list may be considered a list of soldiers with rather good confidence. See on this matter Rosamilia 2023's observations.
