Translation

with so-and-so his wife from his own resources having constructed the south stoa of the archive

Commentary

The association of c with the other fragments, originally made by Robert, appears very likely. It is very probable that these blocks come from the same building as 12.1006 (=MAMA 498) (which was also reused in the construction of the West gate) and come from one of the buildings constructed by Jason Prabreus and his wife, Julia Paula.

Locations

Walls, West Gate: a. and b. reused adjacent to one another (b. to the right of a.), with the inscribed face inwards, to form a course, in the upper part of the West Gate Unknown Findspot (2001)
