Briciole epigrafiche

This paper concerns the following three inscribed pieces: 1. Tablet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a funerary formula. Some mistakes brings us to hypothesize that it is a composition written by a student. 2. Small stela of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with a figure of a scorpion. It is a small apotropaic instrument for the protection from fearful animals. A correction is necessary to the written text. 3. A Ptolemaic stela from Akhmim in the Museo di Scienze Archeologiche dell'Università di Padova shows some graphic features which it is interesting to emphasize.
