Commentary

E. Rosamilia saw the inscription in a tomb of the West Necropolis not far from tomb W128 Cassels, where he had identified IGCyr123400. The tomb that corresponds best to Rosamilia's photograph seems to be W133, although this should be taken cautiously.

The beginning of the lines was lost because the forecourt of the tomb was reworked and the wall was cut off. However, the name at line 1 may be restored plausibly. In funerary mentions where the first name is at the genitive case, the father's name is not usually mentioned. Therefore, the second line might rather mention another dead person. Anyhow, its reading was very partial, as most letters were buried.
