τόπος Βενέτων Ἑβρέων τῶν παλεῶν
Apparatus

The alignment here, and a slight difference in the design of the two betas, may suggest that the word Βενέτων was cut by a different hand - whether earlier or later is uncertain; but this cannot be regarded as proven, given the roughness of the whole.

Translation

Row 6: Place of Blues, of the elder Jews.
