It cannot be decided whether the block was about 0.24 wide or twice more. If the former, the preserved line 1 would have the father's name of a dedicant whose own name stood in the lost part and then only the name of Apollo would stay at line 2. If the stone was wider, it might have been inscribed only on the two preserved lines, mentioning at line 1 the own name and father's name of the dedicant and at line 2 after the name of Apollo either the word for 'tithe' or the verb 'dedicated'.

At line 1, the two preserved letters belong to a personal name. Given the space available, there are two possibilities amongst the already attested names of the Hellenistic period: either one of the many names built upon Ἀγαθ(ο)- or the less common Νίκαθλος, which in fact would better fit the space.
