Commentary

Such a fragment written from right to left was mentionned by Ferri without any transcription. Pugliese Carratelli suspected that it might be IGCyr001500², in spite of the different orientation of the script; this idea may now be rejected.

The fragment had been photographed alongside with IGCyr119600² and IRCyr2020 C.695, about which J.M. Reynolds informs that the photograph was taken in 1930.

The name of the god is certain, but it cannot be decided whether it was here at the genitive or at the dative case.
