The third letter preserved at line 1 does not seem to be an iota. So the dative of the Apollo's name should be excluded. This first line in larger characters might have the dedicant's name, maybe a name ending with -ων and the first letter of his father's name.
Although very fragmentary, the second line might have the usual formula of dedication of the tithe. The whole is very hypothetical.
