Commentary
line 1 perhaps contained the genitive case of a name ending -φιλος.
Lines 2-3 probably contained names, perhaps Πρατά[ρχος and Βίων.
line 4 was perhaps from the word ἑτέρα, "other", and line 5 from the word ἔτους, "in the year of". The subject is not clear, but if ἔτους stood in line 5 it suggests a text which gave a date at the end.
