Commentary

If, as seems probable, this text belongs to the group in which the city of Cyrene honours a benefactor (see on C.445), line 1 will have contained the honorand’s name, line 2 an account of his or her virtues - in the first place perhaps nothing more specific than ἀρετή, in the second piety (possibly towards τᾶς θεάς or to the gods in general), and we would expect a line 3 with Κυραναῖοι, but the space here seems inadequate for a third line.
