Text type
commentary
The text was (re)published by Orsi in NSA explicitly because Mommsen’s minimalist record in CIL X.7146, apparently derived from Schubring, was deficient, recording only the second line and with no further details. Manganaro republished it again, without acknowledging that Orsi had already read the remnants of the first line correctly. The text has not yet been located in the museum, and only drawings by Orsi (Taccuini) and Manganaro are available. There is a large vacat below and the lower edge is intact, so this appears to be parts of the final two lines of the text. Manganaro suggests that Cerialis is a priestly title, rather than a cognomen.
