Commentary

A reading δέκα would provide a well-formed Greek word, possibly meaningful as a trademark inscribed in full (price or number of items in a bunch?). However, the fragment being stored amidst dedications of the tithe, it is more plausible to read it as an abbreviation. Such is perhaps the case also at IGCyr107900². Rosamilia 2023, p. 87, footnote 28 also prefers an abbreviated mention of tithe.
