Apparatus criticus

  • Text of Borman in IG, with minor variations after Arangio-Ruiz and Olivieri noted below;
  • II.1-2: Arangio-Ruiz and Olivieri move Ἀρτεμισίου πρ to the start of line 2, which is in line with the normal layout of these texts and II.21 in this text, but the space is insufficient in Borman's diplomatic transcription.
  • II.12-13: Borman: ἑ[πτα?]-|κόσιοι
  • II.13: Borman: ΗΑΙΙΕΚΤΟΝ, with note 'faber videtur errore ΑΙ incidisse pro Μ
  • II.21: Borman shows the ligature in his diplomatic edition
  • II.27: Borman: τάλαν[τα ---]]
  • II.28: Borman: [---]ΙΛ τάλαντα καὶ Ε[---]

Provenance

Place of origin
Tauromenium
Provenance found
Observed by Borman in 1867 walled into a private house; subsequently seen by Kaibel in the reception of the Hotel Bella veduta, and by later observers in the same, renamed as the Hotel Metropole. Not seen in recent times, and while it may be preserved in private hands, it appears to be lost.
