Krin [---] fils (ou fille ?) d'Aristippos.
Krin [---] son (or daughter?) of Aristippos.
Krin [---] figlio (o figlia?) di Aristippos.
The first editors, on the view that the base comes from the same tomb as IGCyr08100 and IGCyr086400, tried to find names common to those epitaphs and retained Κρῖνις as a possible restoration. However, the provenance might not be very clear. Moreover, the careful lettering shows a somewhat earlier date for the present inscription; the spacing of the letters and the place of the hole on top show that the gap was of ca. 5 letters at l. 1.
