Commentary

We suspect the first line to contain a personal name. With a tau restituted before the preserved segment, we might have either the end of a name in -τιμος or the beginning of Τιμῶναξ. The piece is too lacunar to allow a choice.

For the name Λεβύστρατος/Λιβύστρατος, see Masson 1975, pp. 712-713.

At line 3, if we also have a personal name, the poor vestiges escape restoration.
