S.E.G. IX, 63
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2013
Extract
This inscription, dated in A.D. 2/3 and comprising a prose introduction and a set of verses cut in small letters (c. 1 cm.) below a relief of a man reclining on a couch, cup in hand, was found in the Sanctuary of Apollo at Cyrene in 1925 and published by G. Oliverio in 1933. Of the controversies that the monument has aroused, I am concerned only with the last line of the text=the last couplet of verses, where Oliverio's reading is difficult to translate. Various emendations have already been proposed, none of them wholly satisfying.
