Commentary
Dobias-Lalou, 1970 Dobias-Lalou, C., 1970, Pour une chronologie des inscriptions archaïques de Cyrène, Revue de Philologie, de Littérature et d'Histoire Anciennes (RPh)ser. 3, 44, 228-256 - see in bibliography did non include it into the Cyrenaean items. However, as ϙ is now better attested, this might be after all have been inscribed in Cyrenaica.
At right end of the graffito, a vertical stroke extending to the left at top resembles no Greek letter and might be a sort of final punct. This sign is not commented upon by ed. princ.
The new personal name Κώκιος was discussed by Dobias-Lalou, 1970 Dobias-Lalou, C., 1970, Pour une chronologie des inscriptions archaïques de Cyrène, Revue de Philologie, de Littérature et d'Histoire Anciennes (RPh)ser. 3, 44, 228-256 - see in bibliography with reference to Robert, 1963 Robert, L., 1963, Noms indigènes dans l'Asie mineure gréco-romaine, Bibliothèque archéologique et historique de l'Institut français d'archéologie d'Istanbul13, Paris - see in bibliography , p. 312-320.
