commentary

Nenci suggested emending κκ in line 3 to ἐκ but Ampolo and Erdas note that gemination of the κ is well attested. Ampolo and Erdas suggest that the word ἰδίων may have stood in the first part of the line (4) below line 3, which is empty on the stone; but if the text extended onto a second stone, as is implied by line 2, then it could equally have followed on line 3. The proposed early imperial date is based solely on letter forms.
