Text constituted from
Transcription from J.M. Reynolds' notebooks (CDL).
Not previously published.
2 [εὐ?]πατόρων : [προ?]πατόρων (J.M. Reynolds' suggestion)
[---] de nobles pères [---] .
[---] with noble fathers [---] .
[---] di nobili padri [---] .
No date was suggested by J.M. Reynolds in her notebook and no image is available. The date remains thus unknown.
The very faint clue for interpreting this small fragment as from a verse epitaph is the poetic character of compounds in -πάτωρ. If ever this is right, εὐπατόρων should be preferred on metrical grounds.
Metrical analysis: a dactylic segment.
