commentary

One of two inscriptions on this upright stone, broken in its upper right area. The other inscription, on the front face upper left is ISic001412. Cf. IG XIV.369-71 for other evidence of gymnasion in Haluntium. The text of Manganaro is ambitious and requires revision in light of fresh autopsy
