Summary/Abstract: This article consists of two parts. The first part addresses several recent pieces of epigraphic evidence from Olbia. Data from the inscription containing Thracian Muca(-) are discussed, and a number of possible readings of the second and third lines are offered. The name on the recently discovered Roman flask is also discussed, concluding that it should not be considered in scholarly discourse. The second part deals with the place-name Βιργινασώ recorded in De Aedificiis by Procopius. It is argued that this toponym should be considered to be Latin, cf. Lat. adjective virginōsus.
