Commentary

Owing to parallels of the same provenance (see IGCyr111800, IGCyr113000, IGCyr113300, IGCyr113600), Marengo suggested abbreviated personal names, which is very plausible, especially for b. Gasperini thought at least for a that they could be names of deities to whom the offering would be dedicated on behalf of hypothetical expansions of Αρ in Panticapaeum. This does not seem very convincing.
