Commentary

This very poor fragment seems to preserve its original size as an oblong block. If so, the inscription would have consisted in at least three personal names the relation of which cannot be established. For lines 1 and 2 we have twice a typically Cyrenaican name, either Παραιβάτας or its short form Πάραιβις. Some dedications of honorific statues have condensed formulas with names opposing nominative and accusative. But it would be hazardous to push that ahead.
