Commentary

Lines 20 to 23, where both columns are missing, have been plausibly restored by Oliverio on basis of the last products mentioned in IGCyr014300. If he is right, the present account would surprisingly not mention olives nor olive oil.

In this account, the few numbers that are preserved are higher than the prices per unit given in the preceding centuries and lower than those mentioned in the contemporary IGCyr014400. Rosamilia was able to show that this reflects the change of monetary scale from silver standard to bronze standard in Cyrenaica in the first decades of the second century B.C., shorlty after the change was deciced in Egypt.

At l. 30 the 'remainder' (λοιπόν) was not compulsorily mentioned (see IGCyr014300).
