Commentary

About the circumstances of the discovery, see , p. 104 .

Oliverio's reading as one word Καροφι is questionable for the extreme scarcity of plural datives in -φι and mainly because a divine name *κᾶρες (or rather *κᾶροι) does not exist. Two abbreviated names, each corresponding to one compartment would be a better solution. The vertical stroke at the right end does not seem to be a iota, but a limit for the inscribed field.
