Commentary

Dodecasyllable. This specimen is parallel to BZS.1947.2.2072, BZS.1955.1.3760, BZS.1955.1.3762, BZS.1955.1.3764, BZS.1951.31.5.2691, BZS.1958.106.2654, and BZS.1958.106.5332. It comes from the same disposition--but a different boulloterion--as BZS.1955.1.3761 and BZS.1955.1.3763. The specimens BZS.1955.1.3765, BZS.1955.1.3766, BZS.1955.1.3767, BZS.1955.1.3768, BZS.1955.1.3769, BZS.1951.31.5.3103, and BZS.1958.106.2961, have a slight variation in their inscriptions, but apparently come from the same individual.
