Description
Summary:This paper analyses the presence of three Spanish fake inscriptions (CIL II 382*, 383* and 410*) belonging to the tradition of Cyriac of Ancona. In many manuscripts, a farewell sentence is incorporated at the end of CIL II 383*, and was fi nally included by Hübner as part of the text. We present evidence that the interpolation would have been comitted by Felice Feliciano through the Bern manuscript of Giovanni Marcanova.
