commentary

Suggested to be a dedication to Aphrodite, but it is unclear how much is lost on the right, and whether there were letters before the ΙΤ on line 2. The stone appears never to have been formally published, and there is no clear reference which can be aligned to it in the summary of Scibona on Mistretta in the BTCGI.
