Apparatus

[^a1: at 4: ΤWNWTOIXW | δπλο/τωμοιτο/ οὗ [M is fairly clear, but only the tops of the next two letters survive - y might be χ, H might be N: the draughtsman must have intended a verb with passive sense and in the optative]]

[^a2: at 5: Θ | O]

[^a3: at 6: ΤΑC \ ΘΕ[.]ΟΙ | -τα [ἀσ]Θε[ν]οῖ [The second letter is fairly clear, the fourth very obscure, but possibly y or an uncompleted α, the seventh again obscure, partly because the cutter seems to have been uncertain and partly because of damage - an uncompleted χ or Λ would have been possible; another verb in the optative is needed.]]
