Apparatus
ll.1 - 2. εὐ[ερ]|γέτην Reinach.
l.9. ἀ[ξί]λαις Reinach; there appears to be a fault in the stone after the initial Α.
l.11 Reinach did not record the cross, which was probably not included on the squeeze.
Translation:
The never-to-be-forgotten benefactor, who, with baths and with command of the corn-supply, drove away plague and famine, Rhodopaios, lover of his country; the city, loving him, has adorned him with this second marble image, repaying him with worthy honours.
