7 E.g. a fragment of a female head from the cella of the temple of Apollo at Cyrene (GR 1861, 11-27.145) was recently reunited with another fragment rediscovered in 1927 which had lost its provenance (GR 1927, 2-14.1), and constitute a potential portrait head of Berenike II (publication forthcoming).
