Two fragments of a white marble panel, slighlty tapering and also thicker in the middle than on the edges; fragment a: broken off on all sides ( 0.20 0.24 0.037 at left to 0.05 at right ); fragment b: keeping right edge of the stone, neatly bevelled, broken off above, at left and below ( 0.15 0.11 0.035 at right to 0.047 at left ).

 Inscribed in stoichedon style on front face. 0.014; slanting mu and sigma, dotted theta, phi with symetrical half-lunate-shaped loops. Findspot. Fourth century B.C.

Commentary

The back of the panel had an odd shape, which probably prevented Pugliese Carratelli at SECir to be sure that both fragments belong to one and the same stone; however, their dimensions measured at different places and the bevelled right edge allow for the shape described above and the material, lettering and content do confirm the similarity. Fragment a belonged to the middle of the panel and fragment b belonged to the right side, probably lower, so that in our edition the order of the fragments is inverted in comparison with editio princeps. We infer the date of discovery from the mention of its place, which seems a quotation from Oliverio, although no sketchbook is mentioned.

This is one of the very few inscriptions in stoichedon style from Cyrenaica.

Those very fragmentary rests do not allow to get a clear view of the subject; however the mentions of hieromnemones, of a sanctuary, of payment and the hypothetical particle in relative sentences all lead to the view that some forms of religious regulations were mentioned here.
