[^a1: τὸν πρόγονον Ἀι[...] | ρoγονον αι[...]]

[^a2: ἔστασε | στασ[...]]

Untel fils d'Untel a fait ériger la statue de son ancêtre A[...] fils d'Untel.

So-and-so son of So-and-so had the statue of his forefather A[...] son of So-and-so erected.

Il tale figlio del tale ha fatto erigere la statua del suo antenato A[...] figlio del tale.

At line 2, the word πρόγονος is highly plausible. It was followed by a personal name, the vestiges of which would easily fit very common names such as Aiglanor, Ammonios, Annikeris, and so on. Being at the accusative it would be the name of the person honored with a statue or any other image placed upon the base. In such honorary inscriptions the verb is usually subaudible; if mentioned, it reads ἀνέθηκε. We have here the less common ἔστασε, which is well chosen for a statue.
