Commentary

Published from a photograph found in Oliverio's archive by Pugliese Carratelli, who thought that it might be part of IGCyr094600.

The observation of the stone shows that both thickness of the panels and lettering are quite different.

Pugliese Carratelli's idea that we might have a name in Βακχ- seems good, although such names are not frequent in Cyrenaica, see Fraser-Matthews, 1987 under Βάκχις and Βάχις (which are in fact feminine names Βα(κ)χίς).
