Translation:
Perhaps three names in the nominative: Diod[oros] or Diod[otos], [...] Attalos. [...] Isago[ras?] [...]
Commentary:
The first name might be Diodoros or perhaps Diodotos; the case might have been nominative or genitive. But it might be in the genitive case, indicating the father of a man whose name preceded, and Isagoras might have been father of Attalos.
The purpose of the text is unkown.
- Photographs:
- none.
