Commentary

For the excavation see R. Norton, Bulletin of the Archeological Institute of America II (1911) 154f, available at archive.org

Line 3 seems to contain part of the name Ἀριστοτέλης, Aristoteles, and the text may be a list of names; but what survives in lines 1 and 2 could be part of an imperial name and title, e.g.[...Αἴλιο]ν Α[ὐρήλιον...] / [...εὐ]τυχή[...].
