commentary
A city of Petra is recorded in Entella A1 = ISic030298, and so presumably in this region of Sicily; but given that Herakleios holds a magistracy in Segesta, the onomastic element Petreinos is presumably a demotic, and should this refer to the same Petra, the implication is presumably that Petra is now a village of Segesta, or similar.
