Commentary
Hayes, in Boardman-Hayes, 1973 Boardman, J., Hayes, J., 1973, Excavations at Tocra 1963-1965. The archaic deposits II and later deposits, British School of Archaeology at AthensSuppl. 10, London - see in bibliography , p. 48, says that graffiti run on both sides, whereas Boardman, in Boardman-Hayes, 1973 Boardman, J., Hayes, J., 1973, Excavations at Tocra 1963-1965. The archaic deposits II and later deposits, British School of Archaeology at AthensSuppl. 10, London - see in bibliography , p. 85, takes fragm. b, which runs under a handle, to follow fragm. a, but without any indication of the possible extent of the missing part. Thus it seems more cautious to present them separately.
In fragment b, letters of ll. 1 and 2 are crossing one another, so that the reading is very hazardous.
On the whole, the only clear element is the very plausible dative of Demeter's name.
