Commentary

Φορμί(ονος), ed.pr. [stamps of the magistrate Βόρυς I are well-represented in Sinope itself (Y.Garlan, Les timbres céramiques sinopéens sur amphores et sur tuiles trouvés à Sinope [Paris 2004] nos. 177-187), Histria (N.Conovici, Histria VIII.2 nos. 57-62) and Kallatis (A.Avram, N.Conovici, G.Poenaru Bordea, Dacia 34 [1990] 117); combination with the potter’s name seems new, Kantor].
