Cf. [...], p. 197.

[...] Α[...] τελ Ἀπόλλωνι ἀνέθηκ[...]

[...] A[...] [...] a/ont consacré à Apollon.

[...] A[...] [...] dedicated to Apollo.

[...] A[...] [...] ha/hanno dedicato ad Apollo.

It is unclear whether one or more other lines were lost above this fragment. Line 1 had probably a personal name beginning with A.

For line 2, there are two possibilities: either another personal name beginning with Tel- or the participle (present or aorist) of the verb τελεσφορέω 'to accomplish the telesphoria'. On the whole we know of dedications made by one or more persons, while accomplishing the ceremony or after having accomplished it. In that group, the only instance where Apollo is mentioned is perhaps IGCyr108500.

Additional commentary for the second edition: [...] suggests a reconstruction of this text in the frame of the telesphoria, where the dedicant would be mentioned before the honoured person. This would be contrary to the usual order.
