Apparatus

The restorations are all from Sherard's copy.

l. 5. ΑΙΙΙΓΟΝ Sherard; ἄωτον Boeckh, Cormack; ἀρωγόν Robert (and cf. 37, v.9).

l.15. ΠΑΝΤΑ [··] ΙΔΙΑ Sherard; πάντα ἡμῶν ἰδίᾳ Boeckh; πάντ[α ἡμῶ]ν ἰδίᾳ Cormack.

l.20. ΤΟΤΡΙΤΟΗ Sherard; ΤΟΤΡΙ survives. confirming τὸ τρίτον (Boeckh, Cormack) rather than τῷ τρίτῳ (Robert, tentatively).

Translation:

To Good Fortune. The magnificentissimus Rhodopaios, the lover of his country and defender of the people, the originator of the generous gift of the summer Olympian bath, and giver of corn as well as founder, renewer of pleasures that had been forgotten, the never-to-be-forgotten benefactor to us in everything, privately and public—the city (has honoured him) adorning him with a statue for the third time
