Commentary

On the walls see Kraeling, op.cit. p. 52 f. and on the relevance of this inscription to the date of their present form, p. 61 f.; he associates its re-use with the rebuilding of this stretch of the curtain after a remodelling of the West Gate, perhaps in the third century.

Perhaps Au[g(usti) lib(ertus) ...], but AV may also be the opening of a cognomen, e.g. Auctus; if the former, the text is new evidence for an office of the imperial civil service at Ptolemais.
