Text type

funerary

commentary

The name is reported as being on an unpublished funerary inscription from contrada Ippolito in the Mineo Museum, by Messina 1992, excavated in 1961 (cf. the excavations reported by Gentili in 1959). A second unpublished text is also implied but no further information is given. It is unclear if this text contains anymore than the reported name.
