Description
This is a possible ostracon, cut from the wall of a Punic amphora from the central Mediterranean, located in Sector 01, the entrance to the site, during the 2005 excavation in a preparation level of the pavement of the main road, dated from the first half of the first century BC. It is the most interesting inscription of the group of three, despite a damaged part. The interpretation is as follows: ] e - ba - r - ti - m: a I - o ] bo - to - l - e - i -s The entire inscription is parallel with formants of compounds of the onomastic type, which suggests that these are the remains of a list of names; alor, bartin, boto and leis. So, it seems that we have a list of people (customers?) and therefore possibly a commercial inscription. A date between -210 / -190 is proposed based on the epigraphic characteristics.
