Text type
commentary
The text appears to consist of a part (fragm.b), presumably previously scratched, in Greek and a part (fragm.a), later graffitied, in Elymian language. The Greek text can be interpreted as an Attic abbreviation, while the text in Elymian could consist of numerals pertaining to the culture of Segesta.
