Commentary

This inscription is known only through a photograph in the archive of A.E. Breccia (Pisa).

As pointed by Rosamilia, this inscription was probably cut by the same mason as IGCyr098000².

On behalf of historical and prosopographical considerations, Rosamilia dates this inscription between 270 and 260 BC.
