Commentary

As the last letter seems to be Δ, corrected from O, it is conceivable from the context of find that there was a phrase like κοινὸς ἐὼν τῶι θεῶι with Demeter's name; that formula is used about a man bound to a dedication, whose properties are considered jointly owned with a god even after his death (see IGCyr0167002, l. 58).
