Φερὼι Σεμηρος

Pherôi fille de Semèr.

Pheroi daughter of Semer.

Pheròi figlia di Semer.

The daughter's name, now attested several times in Cyrenaica, is not known eslwhere. However, it belongs to a very common type of Greek feminine shortnames in -ώι, abbreviating compounds such as Φερονίκα. The father's name has a Libyan origin (see [...], p. 59).

One Semer is the father of a military officer in IGCyr094400, dated in the second half of the fourth century.

A seated statue from an identified tomb has been found in 2019 and bears on the plinth the same name and father's name. Although the dates may not be very different, it seems impossible to conclude that the woman mentioned on this base is the same as the one in IGCyr135500, originating from tomb S197.
