Commentary

Gasperini described the stone as preserving part of its lower face; however, it is obvious that the account is not complete; thus either it was continued on another panel or, more plausibly, the stone was re-cut later on.

As pointed by Gasperini, this account is much similar to IGCyr014500, of which the left column is largely lost, but it cannot be joined with it because the two words ἀμυσγυλᾶν μαλακᾶν̣ are here written on one and the same line. However this account belongs to the same series, where the prices are given separately for both semesters and laid out in two columns (IGCyr014000, IGCyr014200, IGCyr014300, IGCyr014400, IGCyr014500 IGCyr014600). We have here only part of the column of the 1st semester. At the time the numerals were written with the alphabetic system. Thanks to Rosamilia's revision of the stone, two prices are now legible. This leads to group it with IGCyr014400 and IGCyr014500. All three of them have very high amounts of prices or crops, which are explained by Rosamilia through the change from silver standard to bronze standard, to be dated after 180 B.C. and for this one more precisely after ca. 163 B.C.
