Commentary
Pugliese Carratelli (
SECir, 204
) described the stone at the very place where it still laid in 1976, before being brought into the Museum for preservation.
On that basis, Reynolds, who had not found it, argued that it had probably been found before 1935 and thus should have come from the Eastern Church,
the only one excavated by the Italians before World War II (so again in
, p. 57
). In fact, Pugliese Carratelli
had only a copy of the stone coming from Oliverio's papers and checked the stone to complete the publication on occasion of his own visit to Cyrenaica in 1960. The date
of the find is thus before 1935, but not necessarily related to real excavations. The most probable is a chance find during the Italian period in the area of
the West Church. Anyhow, as the stone was re-used, maybe for a stoup, its original place cannot be guessed.
On Stolos, the Athenian admiral, see
, who proposed for the Cyrenaean dedications a date between 108 and 103 B.C.,
and
, who explored the possibility that he was a born Cyrenaean and later granted Athenian citizenship.

explains why Stolos had the title syggenes ('Akin').
