Commentary

A document ending with a a figure is most likely to be a tombstone, or, just possibly, a date.

The superscript bar above the final letter of line 4 shows that it indicates the figure 10. The line may have given a date - ἔτους τοῦ καὶ ι΄ - in which case the text contained a list of dated entries, probably of eponymous priests or of deaths; alternatively it may have given the age - ἐτῶν ι΄ - of a dead child whose name and patronymic appeared in lines 2,3 in which case line 1 perhaps gave the age of an older person whose name preceded and is completely lost.
