commentary

Two names, e.g. in -λοχος and Θεστ- (or e.g. Θεσσαλός?), respectively, ed.pr., who underlines that these meagre contents are no compelling evidence to classify the document as a defixio (though the lead speaks in favor of this interpretation). (SEG)

Nulla indica che il frammento in questione sia una defixio: il fatto di essere un frammento plumbeo tuttavia costituisce un valido argomento in favore della sua possibile classificazione, anche se il dubbio rimane. (Bettarini)
