Untel fils de Zôilos étant prêtre, sur les revenus des oiseaux et des chiots a été consacré à Apollon cet objet, qui pèse cent drachmes d'Alexandre.

So-and-so son of Zoilos being priest, from the revenues of the birds and puppies was dedicated to Apollo this object, which weighs hundred drachmas of Alexander.

Essendo sacerdote il tale figlio di Zoilos, grazie ai proventi degli uccelli e dei cuccioli di cane fu dedicato ad Apollo questo oggetto, che pesa cento dracme di Alessandro.

[فلان] بن زويلوس و[كونه كاهنًا، من عائئدات بيع الطيور] والجراء ، [أهدوا] لأبولو [هذا الغرض، الذي] يزن أويعادل قيمة 100 [دراخما] من عملة الإسكندر (الفضية).

This fragmentary inscription was first published in [...] as a dedication to Apollo with the mention of a value in Alexander's silver currency. The vestiges of lines 1-2 were thought to belong to the names of several dedicants. [...] now provides a much more convincing reading, parallel with IGCyr125600, which is near in date and has the same developed formulation, whereas two more ancient inscriptions, IGCyr020800 and IGCyr020900, with the same subject, are shorter. In them the priest is not acting as a dedicant and is mentioned as eponymous, providing a date.

This priest might be Karnedas son of Zoilos, a subscriber at IGCyr065210 i.70 or a relative.

Alexander's silver, both currency and weight, is mentioned at IGCyr125600 and in Ptolemaios' diagramma (IGCyr010800 l. 8), where the adjective has the form Ἀλεξάνδρειος also with a feminine noun.

The metal object placed above and dedicated should have been mentioned in the lacuna at the beginning of line 4 and might be, as Rosamilia suggests, φιάλαν. As this word should be followed by a relative pronoun, introducing the verb ἅγει, the space available is perhpas too short. Alternatively, there was a stop and no relative pronoun.
