Μυρὼ Πτολεμαίου ανυνη ὡϲ ἐτῶν ιγ

Apparatus

[^a1: at 3-4: Ἀ(μ)υνήωϲ | Ἀνυνήωϲ]

Translation

Myro daughter of Ptolemaios, aged approximately 13

Commentary

Perhaps misread for γυνή, though the subject is rather young.

Aged about 13; for the formula with ὡς, not otherwise observed in Cyrenaica, cf. SEG VIII, 486, 487, 488, 490, 491, 495, from the Jewish cemetery at Tell el Yehudieh in Egypt. It is also common in papyri.
