Sextarius exagtus officii rei Augustorum nostrorum duorum [sic] et Caesarum duorum

Apparatus

Translations

Sextarius, tested and found accurate by officials from the office of the Res Res Privata of our two Augusti and two Caesars.

Commentary

For the building see Stucchi, Agora 330f.

Sextarius, a standard measure: Its actual capacity is 0.635 litres.

The date should be between 293 and 305 when there were two Augusti (Diocletian and Maximian) and two Caesars (Constantius Chlorus and Galerius).

The text is one of the few pieces of evidence so far discovered for the administration of public property in Cyrenaica in the later imperial period.
