Commentary

Probably re-used in the Circular Tomb. The text is more likely to be honorary than funerary.

Line 1: Probably co[(n)s(uli)]; if so, in view of the eminence of the agent employed to produce the monument, the honorand might very well be a member of the imperial family e.g. Caius Caesar, Germanicus, or Drusus or Tiberius Caesar. Applebaum preferred co[loniae, dated the text in the second century and suggested a reference to the arrangements made for the repopulation of Cyrene after Jewish Revolt.

Line 2 Probably pro[co(n)s(ulem)] rather than pro[curatorem], since there is no other evidence for the presence of a procurator in Cyrenaica before the reign of Septimius Severus (C.183).
