So-and-so dedicated and the door.

Il tale ha dedicato e la porta.

Commentary

This is one of the architraves bearing a dedication of a monumental door (see IGCyr020700, IGCyr022400, IGCyr096800). It was registered in SEG, 9.79 from a photograph in Pernier's article and Oliverio's simple transcription.

We also have a sketch with measures and transcription by Laronde, who saw nothing before καί; the same may be said of Pernier's photograph. Oliverio transcribed two letters there, so that the verb ἀνέθηκε is unescapable. However we do not know on what behalf two more letters are given as readable in SEG.
