Commentary

For general introduction see M.3.

Line 1: the name may be Θεο[μν]ᾶς with the patronymic Ἀρ[ιστ]οδή[μ]ω, most of which is written in higher register than the name; but the layout and the Doric genitive may suggest that Θεο[μν]ᾶς encroached on the graffito of an earlier native whose name is lost.
