Rowe mentioned the place of this unexcavated sarcophagus and the name on it. J.M. Reynolds provided the date for Fraser and Matthews and the Thorns confirmed the place of the name on the lid, so that they all presumably saw the inscription.

As mentioned at IGCyr009700, feminine names in -ίς are not common in Cyrenaica. However this one is supported by a variant Ἡραίς, name of a Cyrenaean woman in Egypt (see also at IGCyr009430). [...], p. 55 explained this name, alongside with masculine Ἡραῖος as derived from the month-name Heraios, probably the month during which those people were born.
