Yorum

The Latin text is identical in both of Herrmann’s editions. The Greek text given above corresponds to his second edition; in Arkeoloji Dergisi 4, p. 184 ( = Herrmann, Ausgew. Schriften, p. 177 [SEG 46; AE 1996]) he had it in a shorter version: Ἰταλικο[ὶ οἱ ἐν Σάρδεσιν] / πραγμα[τευόμενοι] / Λευκίω[ι Μονατίωι Πλάγκωι]. In this earlier edition he considered the date to be the time shortly before the dramatic events of the Ephesian Vesper (88 BC); he adduced IGSK 16 (Ephesos), no. 2058, an inscription erected by the Italicei, quei Ephesi negotiantur.

A certain L. Munatius C. f. Plancus is honored in Delos by the Italicei et Graecei quei Deli negotiantur (Inscr. de Délos 1695–1696); Herrmann thinks that he was a private Roman citizen and has restored the present honoree’s name after him, underlining that the identification is hypothetical.

4–6 It seems to me that Ἰταλικο[ί, οἳ ἐν ταῖς? Σάρδεσιν] πραγμα[τεύονται, ἀνέθηκαν?], Λευκ., etc., would imitate the (restored) syntax of the Latin version more closely.
