Commentary

The stone was used in Hellenistic times, for a public list, IGCyr033100. By the Roman period it had been converted into a tombstone.

Line 5: 15 of the Actian Era = 16/15 BCE; the date appears from C.140 in which the same eponymus priest is named in an inscription which is certainly Augustan. The use of the Cyrenaean priest of Apollo for dating here shows that Gubba was in the territory of Cyrene.
