commentary

The stone is described by Mommsen, who located it, as being 'evanida tota' ('completely worn') and so 'agnovi, sed describi iam non potest' ('I observed it, but it is no longer possible to transcribe it'). Mommsen's text is a best effort, based upon the earlier antiquarian transcriptions. If Mommsen's conjecture for line 6 is correct, this provides additional evidence for the presence of decemprimi at Mazara/Lilybaeum alongside CIL 10.7236 (cf. Manganaro 1988, p.43)
