Translation:
[·· ? ··] Dionysios son of Mo[·· ? ··]
Commentary:
Assuming we have the beginning of the text Dionysios should figure in the nominative case, probably as the dedicator of the feature; at least his father's name (Mo[·· ? ··]) in the genitive will have followed.
A Dionysios descendant of Molossos appears in 11.508 (=CIG 2771).
