[...] [...]χευς Ἀπόλλωνι δεκάταν.

Un tel fils de [...]khès a consacré comme dîme à Apollon.

So and so son of [...]ches dedicated as a tithe to Apollo.

Il tale figlio di [...]ches ha dedicato come decima ad Apollo.

The usual formula leads to suspect that χευς is the end of the father's name of the dedicant at the genitive case. The most plausble guess would be Ἐπιτυχής, which is in fact very rare before the Roman imperial period. That is why we cautiously prefer not to restore it here.

Besides the partial loss of the inscription, the placement of the hole for the right foot of a statue near the left end of the stone shows that the block was later recut or, perhaps, that a second block was joined to this one at left.
