Commentary

Line 1: After Hadrian's death in 138. The list of names, headed by that of the deified emperor, is quite well cut, each entry in the same hand. Since the emperor was already dead, it was cut later than the events to which it refers and the choice seems to lie between a post-contemporary list of priests of Apollo (for another possible reference to Hadrian holding a local office in Cyrenaica see P.54 lines 1-2, and discussion there), and a list of contributors to a fund. If there really is a connection between GVCyr 42 and lines 7f., then it must be of contributors and the amounts contributed by each may have appeared on the lost right half of the stele.

Oliverio considered that C.259 might also be associated.
