- Comments
5–6 Perhaps Φιλόδημος [τοῦ δεῖνος] / καὶ Θεα[νοῦς] (for the latter name in Lydian Saittai see SEG 29, 1194). It seems that l. 6 was followed by a larger interlinear space (like l. 1) or was the last line of the inscription.
This inscription is apparently a list of names. Whenever an entry occupied two lines, the second one was indented.
