Commentary

This basin is probably a dedication by at least 9 different persons. The layout should be similar with that of some monumental inscriptions such as IGCyr022400, but we cannot know the respective placement of fragments a) and b) on the whole rim, nor can we decide whether part of the inscription, mentioning the dedication proper, was written in larger letters on one line only.
