Apparatus criticus

  • Text of Giardina/CIL/Fasolo;
  • 1: As CIL observes, the lack of indication of a break on the stone prior to line 1 in Giardina's original report should be ignored, as it is clear that the bulk of the dedication is missing.

Provenance

Place of origin
Tyndaris
Provenance found
Giardina (1882) reports seeing this "Presso una casina di campagna di proprietà del Sig. Francesco Greco, distante un chilometro da Patti", which implies a local provenance, whether from the site of Tindari or the environs. Fasolo notes that CIL attributes the porperty to one Francisco Gatti instead, and following Scaffidi notes that casina was in the locality of Croce Segreto, probably below the SP 122 at Vigna Grande.

Current location

lost (not observed since the original report, reproduced in CIL).
