Commentary

Only a serif on the line survives of the end of the first name. It might belong either to a nu or rho ending a man's name or to an alpha ending a woman's name (if so, there was a space of one letter between first name and father's name). It would be a tantalizing, but uncautious guess to restore the name of Kritola, a priestess of Artemis at about the same time (see IGCyr020400). The fact that we know up to now no son of an Alexis whose name ends with nu or rho is no sufficient argument.
