Apparatus

[^a1: at 1: ϹΠΙΚΗ (?Σπίκη/ς, Ἐπικ[λ]ῆ/ς, Ἐπική/ς) | Ἐπι[φ] κη΄ [The abbreviation of the month name is unusual but seems the most natural explanation, since the cutter left space at the end of the line as if he had completed his word or phrase; against it is the absence of any space between ΕΠΙ and ΚΗ.]]

[^a2: at 2: ΣΕΚΔΟΥ (-ς ἐκ δού-) | Σεισμ υ [The first letter has been read as sigma, but this cutter's sigma is lunate; the lower horizontal is almost certainly a chip on the surface.]]

[^a3: at 3: ΛΗΣΛΝΤ (-λης Ἀντ-) | -λη Ὁμ[αρ]γ [whence LGPN V1-60001 Ἄντυλλα]]

[^a4: at 4: ΥΛΛΑΣ (-ύλλας) | υλλί[ωνος]]
