Summary/Abstract: This new series of epigraphical notes (continuous numbering) suggests corrections concerning the reading, restoration and interpretation of five Greek and Latininscriptions and two Byzantine seals. 18. Improved edition of a newly published inscription from Kalos Limen (SAPRYKIN & KUTAJSOV 2015). 19. The sequence ΕΟΡΤΗ in a fragmentary inscription from Istros/Histria (BÂLTÂC & BOTTEZ 2007-2008) should be taken as a PN, Ἑόρτη , not as ἑορτή ,“festival”. 20. In the inscription ILS 8851 = IGR I 623 = ISM II 106 χώρτης Ἐσπάνων (sic) should be corrected into χώρτης εʹ Σπανῶν , i.e. cohortis V Hispanorum. 21. New edition and commentary on the inscription CIL III 7547 from Tomis (4th century AD), not included in ISM II. 22. Restoration of a formula which seems to be typical for Christian epitaphs in the6th century AD in IGLR 51, fr. b: κα[λ ς / ἤλθ]ατε κα[ὶ | καλ] ς ὑπάε[τε | καὶ] εὔξα[σθεὑ|πὲρ ἐμ]ο[ῦ]. Suggestion for the restoration of the whole inscription. 23. Improved reading of the legend on the reverse of two seals from Tomis: prae/f(ecto) insu/lar(um), not pri[m](i)/singu/lar(i), as in ed. pr. (A. BARNEA 1986, p. 134-135, no. 1). The owner, a certain Theodoros, also known through five other seals, was a praefectus of the quaestura Iustiniana exercitus created by emperor Justinian I.
