Commentary

The name of the first deity is not easy to guess; Ἱατρῶ or Πυθίω would fit, but it is too hazardous to restore them with only the final letter, inasmuch that there is no other instance of any of them on such altars. Nevertheless, the restoration tentatively suggested by Morelli is grammatically impossible.
