Commentary

The number 5362b given to the stone in the Addenda of CIG at volume IV had already been given in Volume III to the inscription which is our GVCyr05.

The stone was thought lost by Reynolds who included it into the collection of Berenike; however, the lettering shows clearly that it antedates the foundation of Berenike and should come from Euesperides. About the present condition of the stone, a paper by C. Dobias-Lalou has been given to press for Bulletin de la Société Nationale des Antiquaires de France, year 2012, unfortunately not yet published.
