Βασιλῆ Πτολεμαῖον Σωτήρων Ἀρίστων Λυσιφάνευς ἀνέθηκε.

Βασιλῆ[^a1]

[^a1: Βασιλῆ | Βασιλέα]

La statue du roi Ptolémée fils des Sôtères a été consacrée par Aristôn fils de Lysiphanès.

The statue of king Ptolemy son of the Soteres was dedicated by Ariston son of Lysiphanes.

La statua del re Tolemeo figlio dei Soteri è stata dedicata da Ariston figlio di Lysiphanes.

(تمثال) [الملك] بطليموس بن السوتيريس (المُنْقِذِين) كُرِسَ من قبل أريستون بن ليسيفانيس.

Smith and Porcher saw the stone «built into the corner of a wall in the restored part of the temple of Apollo, on the second story. As the inscribed face was turned inwards, this marble must have been taken from some earlier edifice». Because of its position, they could transcribe only part of it.

The date is induced from the lack of titles for the parents and absence of Arsinoe, married in 279/8 ([...], p. 50, footnote 2); moreover, it might show that the quarrel between Magas and Philadelphus did not become effective in the very first years of Philadelphus' reign ([...], p. 26; [...], p. 409, footnote 1).
