Commentary
Oliverio ( Oliverio, 1929 Oliverio, G., 1929, Campagna di scavo a Cirene nell’estate 1927, Africa Italiana2, 111-154 - see in bibliography ) published only fragment a, but conveyed information about fragment b to Hondius, who published the whole in SEG Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum, Leiden, then Amsterdam, 1923-1971, then 1979- - see in bibliography , 9.93. During Pugliese Carratelli's and Morelli's visit in 1960 the latter registered only fragment b, whereas the former published the whole from Oliverio's drawing (not given), without identifying it with the inscription already published by Oliverio. C. Dobias-Lalou from 1976 on also found only fragment b. Fragment a is probably lost for ever.
