Ἐπ’ Εὐμηλίδα· ὀρνίχων· σκυλακίων.

Sous la prêtrise d'Eumélidas, avec les revenus des chiots et des oiseaux.

Being priest Eumelidas, thanks to the revenues from puppies and birds.

Sotto il sacerdozio di Eumelidas, grazie ai proventi dei cuccioli di cane e degli uccelli.

فترة (الكاهن) إفميليديس ، شكر لأجل العائدات الناتجة عن بيع الجراء والطيور.

This inscription is very similar to IGCyr020800, except for the lack of a preposition (for which see [...], p. 166). Such a formulation mentions simply the origin of the expense made for the monument. The syntax and meaning were correctly interpreted by [...], who rejected the interpretation of IGCyr020800 by its first editor, Ferri.

In the absence of any mention of a deity for whom the offering was intended, Oliverio guesssed that it was both Hekate (because of the puppies) and Demeter (because of the birds, which he thought were poultry), but neither the formula nor the finding-place match this hypothesis. Later on, [...], p. 107 supposed that birds were clues for divination, which is acceptable neither for syntax nor for meaning.

At [...], we were able to relate the two inscription to the new IGCyr125600), which has the same formula, but mentions as recipient Apollo, in whose sanctuary both afore mentioned bases were found. The dossier is now enriched by [...], who offers a new interpretation of IGCyr127500. He shows that the revenues came probably from small taxes collected on occasion of sacrifices of puppies and birds to deities whose cult was organised in Apollo's sanctuary and within the framework of his cash box.

For a possible mention of this priest, see IGCyr093600. His priesthood is placed by [...] between ca. 370 and 335 BC.
