Commentary

Pugliese Carratelli, who was not able to find the stone, published the inscription from a drawing (no given) from Oliverio's archive.

Pugliese Carratelli's idea of finding here the name of the festival Ἀρταμίτια would lead to a long formula including τελεσφορέντες and would not allow for an ending -νι before it. So it seems better to restore a dedication to both Apollo and Artemis, who were frequently worshipped together. A third dedicant is thus necessary to fill the space available at left (ll. 1-2).
