Apparatus
The major difference between this version and earlier publications is that re-examination of Deering's drawing has given a different idea of the space lost at the right, which varies more than Leake's publication indicated.
l. 3, μετὰ τού]των W., ἐκ τού]των Reynolds.
l. 5, W. supplied [καὶ Σεβαστὸν ἑορτῆς, which Robert replaced by [ἀποδημήσεως ἀγωνίστων; this seems two or three letters longer than we might expect, but can probably be accommodated, since the surviving line already contains two ligatures.
l. 6, τοῦ κ[τίσαντος διαθήκῃ τὸ σύμπαν δηναρίων] cj. W., Reynolds.
l. 7, ταῖς Καλλικράτου cj. W., Reynolds.
l. 8, Ἀφροδίτη[ς καὶ τοῦ πρώτου ἄρχοντος] cj. W., Reynolds.
l. 9, κα[τ]α[σκεύασαι ὅπως τοῦτον τὸν] cj. W., Reynolds.
l. 11, ὡρισμ[ένῃ προθεσμίᾳ τελέσωσιν· τ]- cj. W., Reynolds, but this makes a very unsatisfactory word division.
l. 15, ἡ [δ]ι[αγραφὴ σημαίνει· ὁ ] cj. W., Reynolds.
l. 18, The spaces on either side of συντεταγμένους in D.'s copy were left blank, perhaps indicating that there was nothing there; but examination of his notebook shows that it was his practice to leave blanks also where he had failed to read letters.
l. 19, Ἔ]πε[στι W., Ἕ]πετα[ι Reynolds.
ll. 20-25: W. and Reynolds deduced from L.'s publication that there were no letters missing on the right; but D.'s drawing shows a ragged edge, apparently indicating a break. The supplements here are largely those suggested by W. and Reynolds, but in a different position.
Translation:
[... to prepare them for the requirements of the contest and ?denarii [...] and the prizes and the competitions in accordance with [?the intention of the deceased; the president of the first contest will be Flavius Eu[- ? ... ? after ] these the contest from the (bequest) of Kallikrates son of Diotimos [will be celebrated in the coming] (5) year, in the sixth month, before the [departure of the synod ] for Rome. [This] contest [has] its prizes described in the [will of Kallikrates, in all] 12,600 [denarii] under the care [of the persons] listed [in his will], the priest of Aphrodite [and ?the neopoioi; it is necessary] to send now on this matter to the synod, and to [announce this] (10) contest, on behalf of [the safety] and eternal rule of the great Imperator Commodus [Augustus], as due to be celebrated at the appointed [time]. [?Third] contest, of Claudius Adrastos it is necessary [to celebrate] as has been prescribed [with no] reduction or omission concerning it, and to [take care that it is celebrated] in the ninth month, as appointed, because the competitors [ must leave afterwards for] (15) Heraclea, and always hereafter in a cycle, just as [.... The] city contest has its own time after this [one ...; ] we have drawn up [the] description of the prizes already [...] ?put in order [...]. Following these is the contest of Hossidios Julianos which has its due date after [...] , (20) and a schedule which is [established] in the will [?of Julianos]; it will have a date after the Nikerateia in Tra[lles? ... The contest of Philem]on son of [Philem]on, son of [Philem]on, son of [Philem]on son of Tatianos, since the money has not yet reached [... ?120]000 denarii, will be celebrated [... ?when the ] capital has accumulated to bring in interest, for the future [ ?of so much ...] (25) the vote ...?will immediately be made clear ?to you.
[Prizes] for tragedians only, in the contest of Claudius Adrastos:
Tragedian: First prize 1,500 denarii
Second prize 600 denarii
Third prize 250 denarii
