Commentary	Not before the 3rd c. CE Hiller (IG) / 3rd-4th c. CE Peek (GVI) / First half of the 3rd c. CE Frantz et al. (1969). In fact, according to J. & L. Robert (BE 1970), the cursive script could point to the care taken in the construction of the monument rather than a late date: thus they propose to date it between the Hellenistic and the Late Period. Pas avant le IIIe s. de n.è. Hiller (IG) / IIIe-IVe s. de n.è. Peek (GVI) / Première moitié du IIIe s. de n.è. Frantz et al. (1969). De fait, selon J. & L. Robert (BE 1970), l'écriture cursive serait plutôt le reflet du soin apporté à la facture du monument plutôt que d'une date tardive : ils proposent donc de remonter la datation entre l'époque hellénistique et l'époque tardive.
