commentary

This text was not recorded by Bivona, and appears to have been previously unpublished. There are a number of possibilities for 'ESIM', either part of a number (e.g. vicesima) or part of a name – Onesimus and Chresimus are both attested in Sicily, the latter in Termini Imerese itself see ISic000149.
