Commentary
Although the fragment is too small to allow a ceramological datation, its inventory number shows its provenance from a sounding in the area of the retaining wall on which the hestiatorion of the first half of the fifth century (see Bacchielli, 1981 Bacchielli, L., 1981, L'agorà di Cirene. L'area settentrionale del lato Ovest della platea inferiore, I.1, Monografie di archeologia libica15, Roma - see in bibliography , pp. 43-50) was built. That fits the lettering well.
The personal name may be that of a dedicant; anyway, the sherd is surely not an ostrakon like IGCyr081900, IGCyr082000, IGCyr082100 and IGCyr082200 (see the discussion at Marengo, 2010 Marengo, S.M., 2010, Iscrizioni da nuovi scavi a Cirene, in M. Luni (ed.), Cirene nell'antichità. Un cinquantennio di attività a Cirene della Missione Archeologica Italiana dell'Università di Urbino "Carlo Bo", Monografie di archeologia libica29, Cirene Atene d'Africa: attività delle missioni archeologiche internazionali a Cirene e in Cirenaica2, Roma, 139-156 - see in bibliography , pp. 140-144).
