Commentary

One of a series of dedications, C.106-C.109; see commentary on C.106. Here another goddess, a personification of an imperial virtue or a female member of the imperial house are all equally possible.

It seems to us not quite certain, given the condition of the stone, whether the first surviving letter is P or R, but Gasperini may well be right to take it as Ρ, interpret as Κυ]ράνα and argue that it is a survival of an earlier text (which was no doubt plastered over). If it is R the reference must again be to the nymph, or conceivably the city of, Cyrene and it is difficult to fit either into the context.
