Apparatus
Cormack saw the trace of an upright in l. 1, and so read [ἐ]τ[είμησεν]; but this might be a trace left by the moulding.
Translation:
[·· ? ·· ?honoured] Chaireas the stephanephoros.
Commentary:
There may have been a verb of honouring on an upper feature; but the two texts, 12.602 and 11.409 (= MAMA 466, 467), both very similar, may perhaps be complete.
