Commentary

This account is the only one where the word 'priest' has the form of koine instead of the usual dialectal form. Combined with the lettering, it shows that the inscription is rather late amongst the whole bulk of such accounts. However, after E. Rosamilia ( ) had shown that the change from silver standard to bronze standard took place in Cyrenaica about 220 B.C., he was also able ( ) to define some groups amongst the accounts previously placed in the second century B.C. For this one only the lettering helped him to place it together with IGCyr014200, IGCyr014300 and IGCyr014600, for which the date should be before 180 B.C.
