Pugliese Carratelli at SECir Oliverio, G., Pugliese-Carratelli, G., Morelli, D., 1961-1962, Supplemento Epigrafico Cirenaico, Annuario della Scuola Archeologica di Atene e delle Missioni Italiane in Oriente (ASAA)39-40 (= n.s. 23-24), 219-375 - see in bibliography , published the inscription, which he did not find, from a drawing (not given) in Oliverio's papers. From the number of Oliverio's notebook we infer the date of 1928 for the find, which should have been fortuitous, as systematic excavations on the Agora began only in 1929. Although the findspot was not mentioned in SECir, it is obvious that the stone was not moved from the area where it lies nowadays with the usual appearance of stones left outside for a long time.
