Translation:

[[[To Aphrodite, most apparent goddess]]], and the homeland. Zenon son of Zenon son of Zenon son of Artemon son of Aineas, being neopoios, dedicated the Hours from his own means, with his wife Apphia daughter of Adrastos and his sons Zenon and Menandros.

Commentary:

This text is identical to 5.108, except that here the first two lines, referring to Aphrodite, have been erased. Compare the two bases honouring Zenon and Menandros, from the same area, where on one the term archiereus has been erased.
