Anax[...] fille d'Anaxéas, prêtresse en même temps que Bakal fils d'Aiglanôr a consacré à Aphrodite ce monument ainsi que la table de pierre.

Anax[...], daughter of Anaxeas, priestess with Bakal son of Aiglanor dedicated to Aphrodite this monument as well as the stone table.

Anax[...], figlia di Anaxeas, sacerdotessa con Bakal figlio di Aiglanor ha dedicato ad Afrodite questo monumento come pure la tavola di pietra.

Pugliese Carratelli checked in the museum fragment a, of which he had found a copy in †Oliverio's papers. He also studied fragment b in the museum, but published it separately.

The restoration at ll. 3-4 of συνιαριτεύοισα gives a clue to the length of the other lines. This participle refers to a priestess of Artemis on duty during the same year as Apollo's eponymous priest, here mentioned (pace Chaniotis) at the dative case with σύν before the verb.

The priestess' name might be Anaxippa, Anaxilea or else. Anaxeas might be her father's name at the genitive case, but might also be the name of the man whose statue was dedicated, whence at the accusative.

A man named Bakal son of Aiglanor is mentioned as nomophylax in Ptolemaios' diagramma (IGCyr010800, line 81. His name appears also on the contemporary base IGCyr096400. The restoration is thus very plausible at line 2.

The implicit monument bearing the panel should have been dedicated alongside with a stone (i.e. marble) table. It should be noted that at Perge in the Roman imperial period a woman was said to be τραπεζώ of Artemis (see Brixhe, [...], 2000.625).

For the last word, of which only the initial lambda survives, the lacuna should correspond to 5 characters. Therefore λιθίναν, with two iotas is preferred to λυγδίναν. The former describes the table as 'of marble', whereas the latter would more precisely mention the most precious marble, white and nearly transparent.
