Commentary

The two preserved endings are probably vestiges of two men's names at the nominative case. The vacat below shows either that this was the end of a longer list or that only those two men were mentioned. However there would be no room for fathers' names, which are usually mentioned. Another faint possibility for line 1 would be the ending of a participle such as ἱαριτεύων, but the word order would be somewhat surprising. The whole remains rather unclear.
