Translation
Commentary
A personal name Δυοκλῆς [m.] is attested at Tegea (Krariotai), s.iii BC (IG V (2) 36, 117 (s. Ἐπάλκης)). No other personal names with this combination of letters are attested in LGPN online. Alternatively, we have a numeral, e.g. δύο κ[αὶ δέκα - -]. δυοκαίδεκα for 'twelve' is attested as early as Homer: Iliad 2.557.
