Λυκόμμας Ἀστυκράτευς

Lykommas fils d'Astykratès.

Lykommas son of Astykrates.

Lykommas figlio di Astykrates.

The name Λυκόμμας is new. It should be a short form of Λυκομήδης, which is also unattested at Cyrene, but rather common in different regions, including all Aegean islands and Attica. For the father's name, we have a small series of occurrences from Hellenistic Cyrene.

Most stelae bearing a name and father's name are of known funerary origin. However this one is smaller than the average and its shape and tenons show that it was fixed on a wall. Therefore, it has more probably a honorific purpose than a funerary one.
