Text type
commentary
One of two fragments (the other is ISic001664), similar in palaeography and material, which may or may not be part of a single text (commonly edited as such), and which may or may not in turn be further fragments of the letter of Iulius Paternus (ISic000308). The fragments were considered by Mommsen and others (e.g. Manganaro 1989) to be part of the letter of Iulius Paternus of CIL 10.7024.i (ISic000308), published by Mommsen as 10.7024.ii and iii. However Manganaro (1959), and more recently Korhonen (2004), consider these two frr. to be part of a separate but contextually similar inscription, recording sums of money and building works linked to the port, and so probably also by Iulius Paternus, or under him. Korhonen correctly observes that it is not necessary that the two fragments CIL 10.7024.ii (this text) and iii (ISic001664) come from a single text; hence they are published separately here. Note that Manganaro 1989 reported the smallest fragment, ISic001664, to be lost (since rediscovered in the Museo Civico).
