Commentary

The date and spot of find are indicated from the sketchbook of Oliverio, who had found two out of three fragments. The three of them are now in the Museum, where Morelli observed and published them, unfortunately without photograph.

The dedicant, who is most probably the son of the man honored by a statue, might also be a man who subscribed ca. 280 B.C. (IGCyr065210, i.151).
