So-and-so son of [...]es being priest, thanks to the revenues from the birds, from the puppies, [...] was dedicated to Apollo, weighing hundred drachmas of Alexander.

Quando un tale, figlio di [...]es era sacerdote, grazie ai proventi dei uccelli, dei cuccioli [...] fu dedicata/o ad Apollo del peso di cento dracme di Alessandro.

As already noticed for the first edition in [...], this inscription, by lettering and matter, recalls IGCyr020800 and IGCyr020900, two dedications made 'thanks to the revenues of puppies and birds'. Thanks to [...], another such inscription is IGCyr127500, which also mentions Apollo as recipient and is nearer in date with this one. The use of koine (at least at line 1) instead of the dialect should be noticed.

In spite of Rosamilia's objections, we keep here the usual dating formula with the genitive of the participle, preceded by the priest's name, of which only the end of the father's name is preserved. The restoration is rather long, but in fact longer than that of line 4 only by one character.

L. 2, as puppies were not offered to Apollo, we must infer that we have the same formulation as in the above-mentioned inscriptions, explaining the origin of the money spent for the offering, the word being at the genitive case, with or without ἀπό.

L. 3, we follow now Rosamilia's retoration of an object dedicated, which might plausibly be, as he supposes, a phiale.

At l. 4 Rosamilia's suggested number 100 offers a well balanced restoration. The silver of Alexander is also mentioned for the weight of objects dedicated at IGCyr095150 and IGCyr127500 and as a monetary value at IGCyr010800, l. 8. For the adoption of Alexander's silver drachma, see [...], p. 240. About Alexander's silver, see [...].
