Commentary

Although compound names in Ἁγησ(ι)- are numerous in Cyrenaica, this one was hitherto unattested. On the contrary, the father's name, Παραιβάτας is one of the most typical names of Cyrenaica. It is thus impossible to relate the deceased with any known family.

As names of the deceased on bases are always at the nominative case, we suppose that Cassels copied erroneously an ending with omega, which would be the genitive.

For the date, we follow Cassesl' opinion.
