Textual and exegetical notes on a new funerary inscription from Cyrene

Abstract:
The interior walls of Tomb S147 in the necropolis of Cyrene are covered with an impressive amount of funerary inscriptions; as most of them are traced in charcoal, the tomb has been nicknamed ‘Carboncini Tomb’2. Although the vast majority of these inscriptions are yet unpublished3, to one of special interest has recently been devoted a thorough editio princeps by Angela Cinalli4, who has provided an archeological overview of the site, useful paleographical remarks on the inscription, and both a photograph and a drawing of the text; Cinalli has also surveyed the content of the inscription, collecting the relevant loci similes in order to emphasise the connection they all share with a pseudo-Epicharmean epigram. However, Cinalli’s critical text and the interpretation she suggests can be improved in two or three points.
