Commentary
Published from Oliverio papers, without dimensions.
From the drawing, it is possible to catch an oblique stroke pertaining to the last preserved letter, not transcribed by Pugliese Carratelli.
Without context, it is impossible to choose between the adjective πολύστροφος ('much-twisted; versatile; making many turns'), a personal name (Πολύστροφος, cf . Meritt-Traill, 1974 Meritt, B.D., Traill, J.S., 1974, Inscriptions: the Athenian councillors, The Athenian agora: results of excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens15, Princeton, NJ - see in bibliography , p. 11, name of a counsellor, ca. 400/350) or a divine name or epithet (so Marengo, 1991 Marengo, S.M., 1991, Lessico delle iscrizioni greche della Cirenaica, Studi pubblicati dall’Istituto italiano per la Storia antica49, Roma - see in bibliography , p. 586).
