Text
Apparatus
1 (Boardman's reading)
French translation
(Un tel a offert) cette (coupe) à Korè.
English translation
(So-and-So dedicated) this (cup) to Kore.
Italian translation
(Il tale ha dedicato) questa (coppa) a Kore.
Commentary
Rho has a tailed form, very rare in Cyrenaica (see also IGCyr110500). However, being offered to Kore, the cup was probably inscribed locally.
