Comments

(a) 1 A form of σύγκλητος?

3 [χ]ώρα / [χ]ώρᾳ? [δ]ῶρα?

7 Aorist I passive from κλέπτω: ἐκλέφ/[θη] (“was stolen”)?

11 [εἰ]σ̣οίσει (“…will import”) may support the assumption that the text dealt with a regulation or law; see also l. 20 [ἔδ]οξεν.

16 ΕΥΘΥ belonging to a name or adverb (see LSJ s.v. εὐθύς B)?

21 [ἀφέ]ξεσ/[θαι] (see [c] 7)? or [ἔ]ξεσ/[τιν]?

(b) 3 [λή]νψετ̣[αι] (cf. LSJ s.v. λαμβάνω), “…will receive”?

7 𐆖 symbolizes denarii. Above the ciphers IB, there is a horizontal stroke.

8 ἡ πό[λις] or [τ]ῇ πό[λει]?

10 Ligature ΗΚΩ

(c) 3 Ligature HNA.

4 𐆖 symbolizes denarii.

7 ἀφέξ[εσθαι]? See (a) 21.
