Apparatus

l. 1, the lettering is not quite clear and might be better interpreted as Μ (although it does not closely resemble the Μ in l. 3)

ll. 3, 4, final Π could also be Γ

Translation

None

Commentary

Although not interpretable the lettering is apparently the earliest so far found on the site, on the face of it earlier than any evidence we have for the city of Aphrodisias.
