Ἁγεμόνα Μυρός

Hagémona fille de Myrô.

Hagemona daughter of Myro.

Hagemona figlia di Myrò.

This type of bases with mouldings only on three sides are typical bases for funerary statues, intended for a placement against a wall. We have here two women's names. The first name is common in Cyrenaica: its first instances occur in epitaphs of Cyrene contemporary with this one (IGCyr006900 and IGCyr056400) and many more instances are known from all parts of Cyrenaica in the Roman period. As for Μυρώι, although the occurrences are less numerous, they are also dispatched in time and space. One instance (IGCyr123400) is especially interesting because it shows also the dialectal genitive in -ός (for which see [...], p. 97). A point that should be stressed is the mention of the mother's name instead of the usual mention of the father's one. Hagemona's father was either unknown or not married with Myro. However she received funerary honours similar to those of ordinary citizens and her status was probably regular.
