Apparatus

l. 1, Cormack wrongly indicated space for letters above this line.

l. 6,: Cormack's copies showed ΣΙΒΟΑΙ(the last letters only in Kubitschek's copy) whence he restored ἐγερσιβόαι, which Robert rejected. For an independent restoration of ἀμειβόμενοι from the MAMA reading, see Drew-Bear (loc. cit. below).

Translation The Carians set up a statue of this great governor, Helladios, making a return for his great virtue.
