Text type
commentary
It is entirely unclear on what basis Manni Piraino suggests that on palaeographic grounds this text should be dated to the first century CE, when it is clearly of Hellenistic form and date, although a precise date is impossible. There is a clear vacat after line 2 and given the width of the stone and the short length of line 1, there seems no basis to imagine any text below line 2. Assuming a short patronymic, there would just about be room for e.g. εὐνοίας ἕνεκεν at the end of line 2.
