Ἰάσων Ἵππιος ἱαριτεύων ἀνέθηκε.

Ἵππιος[^a1]

[^a1: Ἵππιος | Ἱππι[...] | Ἱππία [J. Reynold's reading.]]

Iasôn fils d'Hippis a consacré ce monument durant sa prêtrise.

Iason son of Hippis dedicated this monument while being priest.

Iason figlio di Hippis ha dedicato questo monumento quando era sacerdote.

The publication of this inscription has a long and complicated history. It was first published by Pugliese Carratelli in the first part of [...] from a drawing of Oliverio's, which is printed there. Pugliese Carratelli was not able to find in the epigraphic storeroom of the Museum the stone, which had in the meantime been broken into three fragments, each of them bearing a different inventory number. Moreover, Morelli published fragment a separately in the third part of [...] without identifying it. Dobias-Lalou in her turn identified fragment a as belonging to this inscription, which became IGCyr095200 and published fragment c separately as unpublished as IGCyr128400. Rosamilia detected the error and later on Dobias-Lalou found out that the small fragment b, which she had left unpublished, also belonged to the stone and filled the gap.

In [...], the name is restored as Ἱππίας and the date is given as 'perhaps third century BC'. However, the restoration of one single letter at the end of l. 1 seems too short and the lettering is clearly earlier.

If [...] is right in dating the priesthood of Iason son of Hippis during Magas' period, it is no longer plausible that he was the man mentioned as [...]ων son of Hippis, mentioned, probably as a military officer, in IGCyr009100, as proposed in the first edition of [...].

Even if the god's name is not mentioned, it may be inferred from the findspot that the monument was dedicated to Apollo.
