Commentary

The fragment was first published in IR: 286 (n. 74). Only few alphabetical signs could be observed; the length of the inscription is 0.9 cm. After a certain anepigraphic space, on the border of the break, there is another sign in the upper area. Mancini supposes this sign as twig belonging to a Χ.
For pictures see IR: 286 (archeological drawing) and Mancini 2010: 162 (photo and archeological drawing).
