So-and-so son of So-and-so, while being priest, dedicated this monument

B.Un tale figlio d'Un tale, mentre era sacerdote, ha dedicato questo monumento

The display of this mutilated text has escaped a clear interpretation until [...] noticed the larger space between line 2 and line 3 and a possible columnar display of the preserved part of lines 1-2. We should therefore have an inscription similar for instance to IGCyr130300, consisting of two units: at lines 1-2, a series of names and father's names displayed in columns and sometimes overlapping the disks, provide the captions of images standing above on the monument; at line 3, an independant sentence, cut on the whole width in the intervals between the disks, mentions the dedication.

The display now rectified cancels the relationship between names that had been formerly suggested (although with serious doubts by [...], p. 431). The only complete mention is that of Themison son of Kallippos. For the second one, restitutions are not as easy as Rosamilia suggested. He is right in looking for a short father's name because of its first part indenting and Sosis seems a good candidate. However, Dobias-Lalou finds a little hazardous to restore the name as Aristoteles on behalf of two mentioned homonyms IGCyr065210 i.92 who would be the grandfather (IGCyr065210 i.92) and the grandson (IGCyr086400) of the present man. That father's name at the genitive seems rather long for the supposed space in our inscription and names in Arist- are so numerous that the question should rather be left open. Besides, the date inferred by Rosamilia, between 200 and 180, would be rather high on behalf of the lettering.
