[Kobla]nos made (it)

Commentary

See Erim-Reynolds, loc. cit., suggesting [...] son of [...] n (perhaps Zenon), made (this). Smith considers, however, that there is no room for a name and patronymic, and prefers to see this as the end of a name in the nominative: he proposes the already known sculptor, Koblanos.
