Commentary

The missing word at end might be either ἀνέθηκε "dedicated" or δεκάταν "as a tithe", which was preferred by , but is not unescapable. In fact the squeeze shows a very tiny part of the upper angle of a letter that might be either an alpha or a delta; this cannot help to decide between the two possibilities.

With a very careful layout the tripuncts of lines 1 and 2 are strictly corresponding to each other. Consequently the father's name was 7 characters long, whichever the word lost at line 2.
