Commentary
In line 34 Sherard read ΤΙΒ, which Boeckh interpreted as a reference to a month named for Tiberius. Robert,
Rev. de Phil. 1930, 25-6 (=
OMS II, 1125-6), saw that the letters must in fact be numerals, giving the number of the month, and of the day; he conjectured that the T was a misreading of iota. From Deering's copy it is clear that the letter which Sherard read as T was a capital stigma. Distributions in the sixth and ninth months would be better spaced than in the tenth and ninth.
