The collation of Y.05.B.B.13 and Y.05.B.B.12 is suggested by Multhoff 2019: 8 on the basis of textual elements (above all, the same dedicant). However, Agostini 2021: 157 remarks that the collation - though possible - is not certain, mainly based on the archaeological context of the two objects: their position suggests to exclude that Y.05.B.B.13 was originally placed above Y.05.B.B.12. |
