Translation

. . . to Demeter and] Kore he/she dedicated this.

Commentary

Kore figures here in the koine form of the dative case, so Demeter, if named, should do so too; ταῖ (line 1) would give the Doric form of the dative feminine article, so is unlikely to have referred to Demeter.

The poor quality of the lettering suggests a donor of modest status.
