Arabic translation

قدم لينتيخوس بن أمونيوس (تمثالاً ل) أمونيوس بن إبيخارموس كعِشر (ضريبة)، عند الاحتفال بالتيليسفوريا الكارنيا.

Commentary

Lentichos seems to have dedicated the statue of his father Ammonios, as suspected by Laronde 1987, pp. 116, 120, who dated the dedication between 370 and 360 BC. Rosamilia 2023 pushes the bracket down to 250 without providing arguments.
