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.
