[...] [...]α [...]μω

Στᾶσις Δάμιος, Φίλων Αννικεριος, Νικόδαμος Δαμώνακτος,

στραταγέντες τὰν ὀπὰν ἀνέθηκαν.

στραταγέντες[^a1]

[^a1: στραταγέντες | τελεσφορέντες | [...] Ἀπόλλωνι | στραταγοὶ Ἀπόλλωνι]

[...] trois noms avec patronymes,

Untel fils d'Untel, Untel fils de [...]as, Untel fils de [...]mos,

Stasis, fils de Damis, Philôn fils d'Annikeris, Nikodamos fils de Damônax,

[...] ont dédié le portail durant leur stratégie.

[...] three names with fathers' names,

So-and-so son of So-and-so, So-and-so son of [...]as, So-and-so son of [...]mos,

Stasis, son of Damis, Philon son of Annikeris, Nikodamos son of Damonax,

[...] dedicated the portal while being strategoi.

[...] tre nomi con patronimici,

il tale figlio del tale, il tale figlio di [...]as, il tale figlio di [...]mos,

Stasis figlio di Damis, Philon figlio di Annikeris, Nikodamos figlio di Damonax,

[...] dedicarono il portale mentre erano strateghi.

Pernier, on the base of the probable number of nine dedicants suggested that they might have been nomophylakes and Stucchi preferred ephoroi. There are no good arguments for any of those hypotheses, especially at the date provided through lettering and prosopography. [...], p. 110 supplied at line 3 στραταγοί on the base of Philon's office as a triakatiarchos in IGCyr084000; although this does not imply that he later became a general, [...] goes on this track. However, he rightly points out that the space available allows to restore only 12-14 letters. The mention of Apollo is not necessary and στραταγέντες fits the space perfectly. Alternatively, Rosamilia also suggests a dedication by telesphoroi, which would be parallel with IGCyr099400, but exceeds siglhtly the space available. For the number 9, he convincingly suggests to explain it in relation with the division of the civic body into three tribes.

As Pernier already suspected in 1935, this stone is probably part of the architrave of the pronaos in Apollo's temple. For the meaning of ὀπά see [...], pp. 182-183. The architrave was later cut into two blocks, then sculpted in the shape of lion's feet, both found in the frigidarium of the Trajanic Baths. In the modern restoration, one was placed together with a Corinthian capital as support of a basin, itself re-used from the Greek propylaeum and inscribed in the second century CE as IRCyr2020 C.242, making its study now impossible. The other one was placed in the same room of the Trajanic Baths as described above.
