Ἀπόλλωνι δεκάταν Ἀντίπατρος Ἀρτέμονος

Ἀρτέμονος[^a1]

[^a1: Ἀρτέμονος | Ἀρτέμονος]

Antipatros fils d'Artémôn a consacré ce monument à Apollon au titre de la dîme.

Antipatros son of Artemon dedicated this monument to Apollo as a tithe.

Antipatros figlio di Artemon ha dedicato questo monumento ad Apollo come decima.

This inscription is known only from a hasty sketch in Oliverio's papers, which Pugliese Carratelli did not reproduce.

Although entering into a long series of dedications of tithe, this one has an unusual order of words: Ἀπόλλωνι δεκάταν usually stands at the end.

Pugliese Carratelli was probably right to interpret the father's name as he did; although not attested in Cyrenaica, Ἀρτέμων is well known elsewhere; as a short form of theophoric names containing Artemis' name, its use is not surprising at Cyrene; only its form has a light foreign tint, as a true Cyrenaean name would begin with Ἀρταμ(ι)-.
