Γναῖον Κορνήλιον Λέντολον Ποπλίω υἱὸν Μαρκελλῖνον πρεσβευτὰν ἀντιστράταγον τὸν πάτρωνα καὶ σωτῆρα Κυραναῖοι

Translations

Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Marcellinus, son of Publius, legatus pro praetore: the Cyrenaeans honoured him as their patron and saviour

Commentary

Lanciani was aware of the publication by Smith and Porcher when he published his own transcription of 'il seguente quasi ignoto marmo'.

The text is identical to C.280; the same man appears also in C.280, C.688 and perhaps C.132

Marcellinus was Pompey's legate in 67 BCE (see DPRR Corn2082); see Reynolds, art. cit.
