Untel fils d'Apios pour Ophélès.

So-and-so son of Apios for Opheles.

Il tale figlio di Apios per Opheles.

Gasperini's assembling and reading seem cautious and meaningful. Opheles is plausibly also mentioned in IGCyr003300. [...] is right in emphasizing that the archaeological context of the find does not allow to relate the cup with the neighbouring building, whereas his doubts about the very reading and thus about the mention of Opheles are by far less convincing (see [...], p. 167.

Grammatically speaking, instead of a lost personal name followed with Apios as a father's name (our translation), another formulation would be possible, if the lost word was δεκάτα. However, the dedication of a tithe to a minor deity such as Opheles is rather unlikely.
