From other monumental inscriptions, we can only very cautiously suggest either the ending of a personal name in -ων or of a participle with a meaning such as 'being priest' or 'accomplishing the telesphoria ', both at the nominative. As for the alpha, there are so many possibilities that they do not deserve to be mentioned.
