Translation:

Κorynbοs to [the] god [?who listens] (in payment of) a vow.

Commentary:

The name of the dedicator also occurs in 11.29 (=CIG 2843). The first line was probably completed with the name or a term differentiating the divinity: e.g. Νινευδίῳ; the second perhaps with ἀνέθηκεν.

Photographs:
none.
