Commentary

The tomb may be identified from Uhlenbrock's and Santucci's researches in Norton's archive.

Robinson's reading gave way to a ghost-name *Ταχακλῆς, admitted by Schwyzer ( DGE 231,7 ), , and also , p. 419 , who however hold it for uncertain and guessed that there were two names.

Morelli, not aware of Robinson's publication, was right in his description.

Masson and Marengo linked both publications and the latter confirmed the reading.

For a name ending in -ταχα, the most plausible restoration could be a feminine counterpart to the Cretan name Βρόταχος, for which see , p. 452 (paper of 1984).
