Commentary

Apparently from the series recorded by Ferri; see commentary on M.3.

The two texts presented in CIG are clearly identical and E.Jomard's association with Ajdabiya should be accepted against Pacho's with Tocra, since it fits in the Ajdabiya group easily. Pacho must be assumed to have made a mistake in making up his plates.

In lines 1-2 there seems to be a name, patronymic, possibly an ethnic and ἥκω. In line 3 the name Πειθαγόραϲ is the only clear element. There are probably several texts recorded as one.
