Translation:
The council and the people buried Epainetos son of Philodemos, who was a good man still excelling everyone in discipline and virtue; and when he was young they also crowned him with a gold crown.
Commentary:
This appears to be the only text at Aphrodisias which was copied by Picenini, but not transcribed by Sherard.
