Commentary
Published from a drawing in Oliverio's papers, without description nor illustration. The date is only conjectural.
The reference to 'Tacc(uino) VIII' indicates excavations of 1927.
For the accusative δεκάταν and the dative of the god's name with the subaudible verb ἀνέθηκε and no dedicant's name, see IGCyr106950 and IGCyr030200.
