- Comments
The letters A (with broken middle stroke) and H (with non-detached middle stroke) of this fragment are similar to those of no. 402. Because a member of the gens Asinnia (see no. 401 and no. 402) also seems to be mentioned, it has been listed in this order.
3 A form of Καικίλιος, Καικιλιανός (Caecilius, Caecilianus)?
