Apparatus
l. 1, Cormack wrongly indicated space for letters above this line.
l. 6,: Cormack's copies showed [·· ? ··]Σ̣Ι̣Β̣Ο̣Α̣Ι̣(the last letters only in Kubitschek's copy) whence he restored [ἐ|γερ]σ̣ι̣βό̣[αι], which Robert rejected. For an independent restoration of ἀμειβόμενοι from the MAMA reading, see Drew-Bear (loc. cit. below).
Translation:
The Carians set up (a statue of) this great governor, Helladios, making a return for his great virtue.
