Commentary
A small Roman fort is reported here and a few kilometres away a settlement which may have served as port for Corniclanum (Agedabia). See D. Whitehouse, RSIS III (1972) 14.
The reading is very uncertain and it is by no means clear that the text is either Greek or from the Graeco-Roman period; cf. M.41, M.42.
