Preliminary transcription (Reynolds); notebooks; publication.

Cormack saw the trace of an upright in l. 1, and so read ἐτείμησεν; but this might be a trace left by the moulding.

Translation

honoured Chaireas the stephanephoros.

Commentary

There may have been a verb of honouring on an upper feature; but the two texts, 12.602 and 11.409 (= MAMA 466, 467), both very similar, may perhaps be complete.

City, South-west, reused as a well-head south west of the Theatre Findspot (1975) Unknown.
