Untel m'a dédié à Apollon Korax.

So-and-so dedicated me to Apollo Korax.

Il tale mi ha dedicato ad Apollo Korax.

فلان وفلان أهدوني للمؤله أبوللون كوراكس

فلان وفلان أهدوني للمؤله [أبوللون] كوراكس

According to Callimachus, Hymn II, vv. 65-68, Apollo, in the guise of a crow, would have guided the founder Battos and his fellows to Cyrene. This archaic graffito shows that Callimachus' information, gathered in his homecity, remained vivid.

As pointed out by [...], the lacuna being very large, several names of dedicatns may have been lost at left and the verb might thus be at the plural.
