Τιμὼι Τιμοκλεῦς

Timô fille de Timoklès.

Timo daughter of Timocles.

Timò figlia di Timokles.

This base, known to us only through photographs and archive of the Department of Antiquities, is very similar to the one bearing IGCyr122000, i.e. a plain type of funerary bases, the dimensions of which are approximately 2 x 1 cubits. Its back was later re-cut so as to form a semi-column, able to adorn the sides of a niche or rather of a naiskos.

The feminine name Timo is attested in Cyrenaica only as the by-name of a priestess of Artemis in the Roman imperial period (IRCyr2020 C.221). However such names ending with -ώι are frequent in the region and this one is derived from the father's name. For the latter, two men bearing the name Timocles are known, one in the fourth century BC (IGCyr0081200), the other at the beginning of the third century (IGCyr065210). One or the other might be related with Timo, but we cannot push the hypothesis further ahead.
