Commentary
Line 2: There is a character after beta, most like an Ε. De Cou's βα (βλ΄), 32, is impossible, but βκ΄, 22, is slightly preferable to a simple beta, 2.
Line 3: The name might be the feminine Dork[as or the masculine Dork[os.
Line 4: The patronymic Ἀρίμμα is also in T.575 and T.577; In line 4 Ἀρι[στίωνος, which might be suggested by the name in T.578, is too long for the space available.
