Fragm. b

[^a1: [...][...]LOKRO[...] [Moore gives a diplomatic edition without any interpretation]]

[^1: in Latin alphabet]

Intraduisible.

Not usefully translatable.

Intraducibile.

The editor gave only a diplomatic transcription, from which SEG gave an inaccurate transcription into Ionic alphabet, and even into Latin alphabet for fragm. b!

The first letter of fragm. b being incomplete might be an epsilon or rather a digamma as [...] proposes. The second letter cannot be anything but a lambda, with a shape that does not belong to the Attic archaic alphabet. The name of the Locrians seems to stay here either as an ethnic or as a personal name. If the digamma was sure, it would give a clue to its etymology. However, as no other document, in Locria or elsewhere, does confirm such a fact, it seems more cautious to admit here an epsilon, which would be the end of the preceding word.

The final letter of fragm. c and the last letter of fragm. a are three-stroke iotas.

Fragm. c is a good candidate for the end of a sentence, followed by a blank. Both other fragments might also be taken in order b-a.
