B.1 τὀπό[λōνος] : (or) τὀπό[λōνι]

Italian translation
A: intraducibile; B: Di/Per Apollo.
Commentary
B has either the genitive or dative case of the god's name. The epsilon of fragment A, very different in lettering, might hardly be the end of a dedication verb and there is no room for a dedicant's name. Its meaning is unclear.
