ματωι βεσπα

[Not usefully translatable]

Commentary

Reynolds points out that would be normal for a text cut within a metope to be self-contained; but IGCyr108500 (not known to Reynolds at the time) provides a contrary example, and would support Oliverio's interpretation, and suggest a reference to a Flavian emperor. It seems just possible that we have here a female name Ματώι, and patronymic or husband's name in the genitive, Βεσπα; Ματω is attested in Asia Minor (so LGPN), but Βεσπας is not.
