IRCyr   Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica

T.81. Fragmentary ephebic names

Description: Sandstone blocks (w: lengths varying x h: 0.36 x d: 0.50), on which formal inscriptions have been cut at irregular intervals along both courses, most of them within wreaths of varying patterns. The legible texts are T.75, T.76, T.77, T.78, T.79, T.80, T.81, T.82. The equally numerous illegible ones appear to have been deliberately erased presumably to make space.
Text: Two texts incised within wreaths at the left end of a block in the lower course, i to the left, ii close beside it to the right; the surface is very worn. In ii, line 1 is outside the wreath, line 2 within the wreath.
Letters: 0.02-0.04; lunate epsilon and sigma; L for ἔτους

Date: First century BCE-second century CE

Findspot: Taucheira: Gymnasium (later Byzantine Baths), north wall, outer face, two lower courses above the podium.
Original location: Findspot
Last recorded location: Findspot
