Commentary

The tomb may be identified from Uhlenbrock's and Santucci's researches in Norton's archive.

Robinson's reading gave way to a ghost-name *Ταχακλῆς, admitted by Schwyzer (DGE Schwyzer, E., Dialectorum Graecarum exempla epigraphica potiora, Leipzig, 1923 - see in bibliography 231,7), Fraser-Matthews, 1987 Fraser, P.M., Matthews, E. (eds.), 1987, Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, I: The Aegean Islands, Cyprus, Cyrenaica, Oxford - see in bibliography , and also Bechtel, 1917 Bechtel, F., 1917, Die historischen Personennamen des Griechischen bis zur Kaiserzeit, Halle - see in bibliography , p. 419, who however hold it for uncertain and guessed that there were two names.

Morelli, not aware of Robinson's publication, was right in his description.

Masson and Marengo linked both publications and the latter confirmed the reading.

For a name ending in -ταχα, the most plausible restoration could be a feminine counterpart to the Cretan name Βρόταχος, for which see Masson, 1990 Masson, O., 1990, Onomastica graeca selecta, I-II, Paris-Nanterre - see in bibliography , p. 452 (paper of 1984).
