Commentary
Lines 1-2: The two later letters in line 1 might suggest [θυγάτ]ερ[α; and line 2 might be supplemented τὰ[ν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα]; cf. C.230
Line 2: Presumably one of the family of M. Antonii in which Flamma was a recurrent cognomen. There seems neither trace of nor room for the final Σ proposed by Oliverio.
