At line 1, Reynolds saw an alpha as the first letter and the photograph, although overexposed, seems to confirm this reading, which does not produce any identifiable personal name. Franz's interpretation in CIG Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum, I-IV, Berlin, 1828-1877 - see in bibliography 5163 seems definitely preferable, so that we accept to correct the inital letter.
