Apparatus

l.3, Waddington notes that in his notebook the lacuna is longer than in the printed epigraphic text.

Translation:

Menandros son of Menodotos, acting for Menodotos his father and for Eugenia his mother, (gave) the epistyle and the decoration above it for [ . . . (masculine)] and the People

Commentary:

This is one of a group of such texts, almost all found re-used near the South-east Gate, dedicating an epistylion, with its decoration (kosmos) to the Demos: 12.405 (=CIG 2752), 12.503 (=LBW 1589), 12.504 (= LBW 1591), 12.505 (=MAMA 439), 12.506 (=MAMA 440), 13.503 (=MAMA 441), 12.406 (=MAMA 442), 12.407 (=MAMA 443), 12.408 (=MAMA 442), 12.404 (= Reinach 127 and 128).

The group discussed by Reynolds, 'Inscriptions and the Building of the Temple', Aphrodisias Papers (Ann Arbor, 1990), 37-40, 39..
