Commentary
This sherd was found along with those bearing IGCyr088400 and IGCyr088500 (personal communication by A. Santucci).
The letters can be interpreted as the beginning of many personal names, such as Τιμαγόρας, Τίμαρχος, Τιμῶναξ.
Another possibility of expansion for those three letters would be the word τιμά, usual in price inscriptions; however Marengo excludes that because no numeral follows.
