[...]oxenos fils de Niki[...], Untel fils d'Untel, Untel fils d'Aiglanôr, Kleu[...] fils d'Untel, Untel, fils d'Untel, tandis qu'ils exerçaient la stratégie, ont consacré ce monument à telle divinité.

[...]oxenos son of Niki[...], So-and-so son of So-and-so, So-and-so son of Aiglanor, Kleu[...] son of So-and-so, So-and-so son of So-and-so, while being strategoi, dedicated this monument to such and such deity.

[...]oxenos figlio di Niki[...], il tale figlio del tale, il tale figlio di Aiglanor, Kleu[...] figlio del tale, il tale figlio del tale, quando erano strateghi, hanno dedicato questo monumento alla tale divinità.

The layout of the expected elements of this fragmentary dedication is not quite sure. We are able to guess that lines 1-2 had only names, whereas line 3 had the dedication formula, including plausibly a god's name and/or the verb of dedication ἀνέθηκε. This leaves space for four or five dedicants mentioned with name and father's name across lines 1-2 remains, as already discussed at [...], p. 24. [...] argues that if the dedication is later than 320 BC, date of Ptolemaios' diagramma (IGCyr010800) the generals on office should be five and we follow him for this edition.

The problem of the findspot and original place remains open. A part of the material found in this depot is related to Ammon, whose cult place was never proven and is placed by some archaeologists at the findspot, where no excavation took place nor will ever be possible. However some items found there, amongst which this dedication, do not seem to belong to Ammon, whose ties with military affairs are not known. Other dedications by generals (IGCyr017000 and IGcyr017100) have Apollo as recipient, probably because he was the civic main deity.
