Edition μοςε αλλαεασ Ἀτταλο ΣΩΣΤΕ
Apparatus

l. 1, perhaps καὶ ὁ δῆμος ἐτείμησαν

l. 2, just possibly e.g. ἀλλας ἀξίας

l. 4, e.g. χρυσῳ στεφανῳ or εἴσωστει

Translation

...] Attalos [...

Commentary

If the interpretation of l. 1 is correct then this would give part of an honorary text, the honorand including Attalos (l. 3) probably among his ancestors, and receiving among other things a gold crown (l. 4). But the restorations cannot be certain and we may have a funerary text with εἴσωστει in l. 4.
