Ἀπονίκας ἀπὸ νίκας Masson's reading

Aponikas a inscrit.

Aponikas inscribed.

Aponikas ha iscritto.

Commentary

The letters may be either Cyrenaean or Theran, so the graffito might have been scratched at either places (see also at IGCyr000300).

The reading Ἀπονίκας is now conforted by another occurrence at IGCyr122400.

Antonini's idea that the penultimate preserved letter, instead of being a gamma, might be a chi with trident-shape is not sustainable (see photograph).
