Δάματρι καὶ Κόραι ἡρωίδα Κυδιμάχαν Κλεάρχω ἀρετᾶς ἕνεκα Κυραναῖοι

To Demeter and Kore, the Cyrenaeans dedicated the statue of the Heroine, Kudimacha daughter of Klearchos, because of her virtue.

Commentary

A homonym, perhaps identical, is listed as priestess of Hera in C.103, line 13. The use of ἡρώις in line 1 indicates that she was dead when the statue was erected, as the dedication to Chthonic goddesses confirms (see Dobias-Lalou, art.cit.).
