Commentary

This account seems to have been written on a very wide panel, l. 33 giving an approximate length for other lines. But parallels are few and in poor condition for the III century, when a division into two semesters appears. Hence restorations should be cautious.

In this account, just as at IGCyr013800, the semesters are not inscribed in columns.

The product which is said μέλαινα (l. 2) would rather be grapes than olives, as Oliverio thought. But the space available at ll. 1 and 2 for all different species of grapes would be rather short. So we prefer not to restore the formulas.

As straw has genitive with ἀν at ll. 10-11, there is no point in restoring ἁ ἅμαξα at l. 3 (and also not at l. 11).

The price at beginning of l. 12 seems too high for wild hay. The only product known to us that costs 40 dr. in the III century accounts is wine (see IGCyr063900); for this unit, see Dobias-Lalou, 2000 Dobias-Lalou, C., 2000, Le dialecte des inscriptions grecques de Cyrène, Karthago25, Paris - see in bibliography , pp. 202-203.
