Transcription (Reynolds)

Translation

Artemidoros son of Apollonios the son of Pereitas former stephanephorus: Kotas set up the image for the People.

Commentary

Kotas might be a further name of Artemidoros; but the phrasing suggests that he is a separate person. If so the image was presumably of Artemidoros.

Locations
