Σθένωνα [...] Πρᾶξις Κ[...], Σθένων Κ[...], , Ἀριστόκριτος [...]

Σθένωνα [...][^a1]

[^a1: Σθένωνα [...] | Σθένων τοῦ δεῖνος]

La statue de Sthénôn fils d'Untel a été consacrée par Praxis fils de K[...], Sthénôn fils de K[...] et Aristokritos fils d'Untel.

The statue of Sthenon son of So-and-so was dedicated by Praxis son of K[...], Sthenon son of K[...] and Aristokritos son of So-and-so.

La statua di Sthenon figlio del tale è stata dedicata da Praxis figlio di K[...], Sthenon figlio di K[...] e Aristokritos figlio del tale.

As there seems to be no room for the mention of a deity to whom a dedication would be made or for the verb of dedication, the most probable formula is that of private honours in the form of a statue standing on the base. Usually, the name of the person featured is first mentioned at the accusative, followed by the name(s) of the dedicant(s) at the nominative. If it is the case, Praxis (l. 2) and Sthenon (l. 3) would be brothers to each other and would certainly be related to the Sthenon of line 1. [...], p. 101 tries to connect various men bering the name Sthenon in the same period. For Aristokritos, we cannot know his relation with the precedings.

Alternatively, but less probably, Aristokritos might be (at the accusative) the person featured in the statue and the men mentioned at lines 1 to 3 would all three be dedicants (at the nominative). However such an order would be less usual.
