Commentary

Σῖμος and related names are unknown in Cyrenaica; this rules out Blass' proposal for line 2. Applebaum's idea that Immi might be a Jewish name is not sustainable inside a typically Greek group. Reynolds mentions a small horizontal mark at the right of the vertical stroke of the last letter, previously read as iota, so that it might be an alpha, allowing to restore the typically Cyrenaican name Arimmas.
