Commentary

c: in lines 4 and 6, the mason abandoned cutting after a few letters

c.2. year 40 (Actian era) = 9/10 CE

c: in lines 4 and 6, the mason abandoned cutting after a few letters

c.6. year 5 (presumably a regnal year of Tiberius) = 19/20 CE

c. 6. ΑΛΚ: perhaps the beginning of Ἄλκις or a similar name.

c.7. double date: year 10 (presumably a regnal year of Tiberius), and also year 55 (Aktian era), so 24/25 CE Νασάμων and Αιαλαν: Libyan names (perhaps members of a Libyan family, Hellenized but still consciously proud of its origin); Νασάμων is related to the tribe of the Nasamones (known from literary sources as hostile to the Cyrenaicans!), but previously unattested as a personal name.
