[...] priestess for life of the goddess Aphrodite and anthephorus, high priestess, daughter of the city, to her homeland.

[ ...... ] priestess for life of the goddess Aphrodite and flower-bearer (anthephoros), high priestess, daughter of the city (set up the statue) to the patris.

Unlike other texts, this one must have started on an upper feature, since line 1 is on the upper moulding.This lady's titles are very impressive; she is the only attested priestess for life of Aphrodite. For her other two titles see 1209.
