Commentary
Palaeographical discussion and analysis in Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1011-1020.
For the variant readings of the third word see Eska & Wallace 2001: 229 fn. 4.
In this epitaph the word pala is unusually located between the personal name and the patronymic. For interpretations of the unusual structure compare Solinas 1997: 97ff., the critique of Eska & Wallace 2001: 230-235, De Marinis & Motta 1990-1: 21-24, fn. 43 Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1014, Motta 2000: 199.
