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.
