Apparatus Criticus: 1. One would perhaps read Ou[a]l[erius or Ou[a]l[ens; the form would represent the Greek rendering of a Latin name turned back into Latin, perhaps a sign of a Hellenophone writer with little Latin but the alphabet; cf. also the note to l. 2. 2. The traces after euseb look most like Greek ην. In line 3, the letter after b also looks as if it could be an eta. Were it not for that Eusebius would be an attractive interpretation.
