Apparatus
1: Ν̣Ο̣Σ̣ (?). But the nu could be the final letter of the honorand's first name, and if so ΘΕ could begin his patronymic.
2: Line 2 carries on his genealogy, which ended only in line 3, and was followed by a second personal name.
3: Line 3 then indicates that he was also known in some other way, set out in line 4, ending, on the face of it, in a name (?or
description) which referred to horses.
5: Line 5 presumably contained a word describing the monument, between the verb and the name of Athenagoras, who erected it.
6: Athenagoras' grandfather's name can be supplied from 1.4.
7: We do not know the names of Athenagoras' ancestors this far back.
