IRCyr   Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica

C.433. Ephebic names

Description: Lower part of a marble base, moulded below, broken in three pieces, (w: 1.03 x h: 0.47 x d: 0.285),and inscribed apparently on 3 occasions: firstly (perhaps) with the dedication C.432; then with the list C.431; then overcut with these graffiti.
Text: Graffiti overlying the lower part of the earlier inscriptions: i on C.431; ii-ix on the moulding between the two inscriptions; x-xviii over C.432; each entry in a different hand, many cut wholly or partly over each other or over illegible texts.
Letters: Variable in size, 0.01 - 0.035; xv in an almost formal hand, cut over xvii .

Date: 1 BCE - 36 CE

Findspot: Cyrene: about 150m from the City wall, south west of the Agora on the road to Beida (so Oliverio, notes); found in 1915.
Original location: Given the findspot, presumably a stray from the Gymnasium beside the Caesareum.
Last recorded location: Cyrene Museum.
