At line 1 a word limit is unescapable between nu and kappa. It is thus mostly probable that we have the end of a personal name and the beginning of another one, which might be the related father's name. The same is also very plausible at line 2, because words containing the sequence σπο do not usually occur in monumental inscriptions. There are faint traces of two letters at line 3, the first might be the left upper end of a gamma, pi, sigma or tau, the second the upper hasta belonging to eta, iota or kappa.
