Commentary

Owing to parallels of the same provenance (see IGCyr1118002, IGCyr1130002, IGCyr1133002, IGCyr1136002), Marengo suggested abbreviated personal names, which is very plausible, especially for b. Gasperini thought at least for a that they could be names of deities to whom the offering would be dedicated on behalf of hypothetical expansions of Αρ in Panticapaeum. This does not seem very convincing.
