ἔτους ιγ Διονύσιος Σωτᾶ ἱερειτεύων τὰν κράναν ἐπεσκεύασε

Translation

Year 13. Dionysios son of Sotas, serving as priest, restored the spring.

Commentary

Line 1: Year 13, if the letter forms are correctly dated here and in GVCyr 24 this should be 13 of the Actian Era, so 18/17 BCE; there is no ground for accepting the date in the second century CE proposed in SEG.

Line 1: Dionysios: probably also in GVCyr 24, line 3 and no doubt ancestor of Σώτας Διονυσίου, priest of Apollo in CE 71-72, see C.49, line 11 and C.141, line 1
