Apparatus criticus

Подчеркнутые буквы в настоящее время не видны на камне. Первые две строки имеют отсуп слева около 2 см от края плиты. ; Ἀπολλών[ιος τοῦ δ. ἐγραμματευε vel ἐβασίλευε ---] но параллели для такого дополнения отсутствуют.
2: scripsi Πασίων[ος τοῦ δ. προξενία ---] Latyshev однако на камне после Ν различимы следы вертикальной гасты от буквы (Η ?), с которой, по всей видимости, начинался патронимик. Более вероятным представляется восстановление имен эйсегетов и глагольной формы εἶπαν в конце стк.
3: Π[ασ]ί[ων] Latyshev но возможны и другие ЛИ на Πασι-.
4: Latyshev
5: κοινᾶι [καὶ ἰδίαι ---]. Latyshev
5-6: scripsi (cр. № ipe351.9), [τοῖς | ἐντυγχάνουσι] vel [τοῖς |ἀφικνουμένοις]

Translation

Apollon[ios - - -] Pasion [--- proposed] Since Pa[s]i[---] sup[plied] the needs --- common [and private for those of the citizens who happen (to ask for help)…]
