ϲ[...] Ἰάϲων [...] Λεοκράτιϲ τὸν κείονα ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων

Apparatus

Translations

. . . ] Jas[on . . . ] Leokrates gave the column from his own resources.

Commentary

Oliverio (note book) read lines 2-3 as Ἰάϲων Μᾶ[γν]οϲ ὁ καὶ / Λεοκράτηϲ and this probably accounts for the reference in Pernier (see also Romanelli, loc.cit.) suggesting that one column was dedicated by Ti.Claudius Jason Magnus (see on C.64). Jason was a common name at Cyrene and there are no adequate grounds for identifying Jason Magnus with Jason Leokrates.
