- Comments
“The order of segments is uncertain” (Kroll).
[ - - - ]ναμεων ἅμα το[ῖς τέκνοις ?]: Kroll (Ameling; SEG); —Iεων ἅμα το[ῖς τέκνοις], Robert. Ameling assumes that [ - - - ]ναμεων is the end of a personal name. He would not exclude [μετὰ τῶν τέκ]ν̣ων αὐτοῦ and underlines that after ἅμα το[ῖς] other relatives than children may have been mentioned.
