Commentary

This might be a list of personal names, too fragmentary to allow secure restoration. For line 1, there are a lot of compound names in -σθένης and also the shorter Σθένων. However, at line 2, there is a space before the preserved segment. This helps to consider that the break was not far away from the left edge, so we choose the shorter name for line 1.

This space also gives for line 2 a clue to one of the many names derived from Apollo's epithet Karneios, amongst which Κάρνις and Καρνήδας are the most common, excluding names such as Εὔκαρπος. However another possibility for l. 2 would be the name of the festival Karneia, usually associated with a participle of the verb τελεσφορέω in a dedication formula. Line 3 would have the verb of dedication.

Other lines might follow only if the inscription was a list of names.
