Commentary

The different hands suggest that the text is a running record of eponymous priests. For a duplicate see C.49, and discussion there.

The stone has been damaged since discovery; supplements in lines 1-9 are from Smith and Porcher: they did not note line 10. Oliverio could read a little more than we do on the left side; he reported line 10 separately.

Lines 2-3: for the first entry see Laronde

Line 2: Smith and Porcher read four uprights after Πτολεμαίου; the oblique stroke that survives was presumably the first of these. The meaning is that Πτολεμαῖος was the descendant of four generations of the same name.

line 10 If correctly read 101 of the Actian era = CE 70-71
