- Translation:
- not usefully translatable.
Commentary:
The only letter-group strongly suggestive of an interpretation is in l. 2 where presumably we have part of κόσμος or a related word. It is a feature of some honorary texts that the subject was praised for living κοσμίως, in an orderly way, vel sim.
