Commentary
This stone is known only through Morelli's transcription. His reading gives no sense, so that Fraser-Matthews (so also Marengo, 1991 Marengo, S.M., 1991, Lessico delle iscrizioni greche della Cirenaica, Studi pubblicati dall’Istituto italiano per la Storia antica49, Roma - see in bibliography , p. 466) convincingly suspected that a delta had been read for a lambda. We lack any information about the type of execution and the lettering.
