Text type
commentary
The text is only recorded by Octavius Caietanus (1566-1620) in his 'Isagoge ad historiam sacram siculam' (published posthumously in 1707), where he simply describes it as a 'tabella mamorea Syracusis reperta graeco idiomate', which he renders in Latin. 'Amphilobi' clearly refers to an 'amphipolos'. It clearly bears close similarity to the inscriptions for Anna and the Paides from Buscemi (cf. ISic002997 or 002999), and given that and the Latin names, is probably of the early first century CE.
