Anaxippos fils de Télôn.
Anaxippos son of Telon.
Anaxippos figlio di Telon.
This base comes from the same tomb, unrecorded by Cassels, as IGCyr085500 and IGCyr085700 and was found during construction works in the new town of Shahat.
This Anaxippos seems to be the great-grandson of the Anaxippos mentioned as a father in IGCyr085500 and the grandson of the Telon mentioned in IGCyr085700.
