Ζε̄νὶ Με̄λιχίōι, Εὐμενίσι Εὐμενίσι Δάμας.

Ζε̄νὶ[^a1] Εὐμενίσι Δάμας[^a2]

[^a1: Ζε̄νὶ | Ζηνί]

[^a2: Εὐμενίσι Δάμας | ΕυμενίδωνΔαμασιστράτω | Εὐρυδάμας]

À Zeus Mélikhios et aux Euménides. Aux Euménides Damas a consacré.

To Zeus Melichios and to the Eumenides. To the Eumenides Damas dedicated.

A Zeus Melichios e alle Eumenidi. Alle Eumenidi Damas ha dedicato.

Δάμας being a good personal name, it is probably associated at line 3 with an abbreviated form of the name of the Eumenides, as it is just above and also in other inscriptions of this group at Ain Hofra.

Differently from nearby inscriptions, this one was cut directly on the rocky cliff and not associated with an altar. Another difference is the dative case of the divine names, indicating a formula of dedication.
