commentary

According to Eck's reconstruction, this is an honorary inscription on behalf of a member of the gens Sosia, a descendant of Sosius Senecio (PIR S 560, cos. 99 and 107), either Pompei Sosia Falconilla in K's version A, or Pompeius Sosius Priscus or his generation in version B (both are after Eck). The family is well attested in eastern Sicily (cf. IMusCat 13), esp. Centuripe. Note that this is a (rare) Sicilian senatorial family. Reconstruction of text according to Eck: v. 1: [Sosiae Falconillae] v. 2: [Pompei] So[si Prisci ---]So[si Senecio-] v. 3: [consula]ris fil(iae) S[osi Se-] OR [praeto]ris fil(i-) S[osi] v. 4: [necioni]s co(n)s(ulis) II [pronep(ti) Senecioni]s co(n)s(ulis) II [nep(--)] v. 5: [Iuli Front]ini co(n)[s(ulis) III ab- Iuli Front]ini co(n)[s(ulis) III pron(ep-)] v. 6: [nep(ti) ---]VA MO[---]
