The fragment probably belonged to an honorific inscription.
4 [στεφαν]η̣φόρον καὶ [ἀγωνοθέτην]?, cf. no. 350, 11–12 and 15–16.
5 For φιλόπολις, see L. Robert, Hellenica XIII, p. 215 and, e.g., IGSK 27 (Prusias ad Hypium), p. 283, Index, s.v.
6 [(δι)δ]όντα: cf. Sardis VII 1, no. 56, 3–4.
7–8 Had the honoree spent a certain amount of denarii (l. 8) for an annual distribution (l. 7 [εἰς] ἐ̣τ̣ήσιον δ[ιανομήν])?
