Apparatus

Ἀθαναίαι Ἀθαναία καὶ τὰ τα

Untel fils de as a consacré à Athèna et la barrière au cours de sa prêtrise.

So-and-so son of as dedicated to Athena and the barrier while being priest.

Il tale figlio di as ha dedicato ad Atena e lo steccato quando era sacerdote.

Commentary

The right end of the lines may be calculated from the missing letters at line 3. Hence the lost part at left would have been much larger, so as to allow a name and father's name at line 1 and probably the name of one or several other objects dedicated in the gaps. This dedication to Athena by a priest (viz. of Apollo, who might have been mentioned at line 3) is a clue for the existence of a shrine or temple of Athena inside the sanctuary of Apollo, a fact that may also be guessed from the mention of expenses for her priestess in an account of damiergoi (IGCyr011600).
