commentary

The text is described as very lightly inscribed, and Kaibel is sceptical of its genuineness, since other stones which he saw in the collection of Lipari were false. Manganaro follows Kaibel's suggested conjectures, with the naming of an Emperor and filiation in the opening lines, suggested to be in the genitive preceded by ὑπὲρ σωτηρίας (for the safety of), and the benefactor being a Septic[ius], perhaps responsible for the construction of a [palae]stran, with a second individual, a Flavius, also involved.
