Commentary
Only two compartments, one with this brazier, are preserved, but the dimensions of the lower part of the monument show that there were initially five of them (a similar example is IGCyr022300, where the gods' names are inscribed on the altar itself).
As Parisi Presicce, 1992 Parisi Presicce, C., 1992, Panakeia, Iatros e le altre divinità asclepiadi a Cirene, in A. Mastino (ed.), L'Africa romana: atti del 9.
