Commentary

As the stele was seen by De Cou in 'the house of the Mudir', it might come from the vicinity. The Thorns thus proposed to assign it to Tomb N241.

Applebaum considers this man a Jew, whereas Lüderitz is much more cautious about the question. It should at least be remembered that both names belong to stems that were very popular in Cyrenaean onomastics well before the arrival of Jews in the region. The question should thus remain open.
