Apparatus criticus

  • Text based on photograph;
  • line.1: The hint of a serif at the upper left of line 1, and the absence of an interpunct, suggests C; the final letter is most likely an I.
  • line.2: The initial letter is either an O or a Q

commentary

The fragment was first published by Giustolisi. It was republished in I.Segesta, but the authors were unable to relocate it. In 2019 it was seen on display in the Biblioteca Communale of Partinico. It is obviously impossible to know in what case the name of the individual actual stands, whether nominative subject or e.g. dative of honorand.
