[^a1: at 2: ΤΟΝ ΕΛΕΩΝΙΚΟΝ (with Ω written above O in both cases) | τ[ῶ]ν [θ]εωνικ[ῶ]ν | ΤΩΝ ΛΩΕΝΙΚΩΝ | τῶν ἐλεωνικῶν]

[^a2: at 3: TON (with Λ added above Τ) | ΤΩΝ | ΠΡΟΣΦΑΤΟΝ]

[^a3: at 4: ΜΟΘΕΤΗΣΑΝΤΑΣ (with ΘΕΣ added in 1.3) | Ν suggested above ΤΗΣ | ΩΦΕΙΛΙΑΝ | ὠφελίαν | ΚΑΘΗΜΕΡΙΝΗΝ [but despite S.'s confident M, Reichel's drawing shows pretty clearly that there was no room for more than Ι before Ο]]

[^a4: at 5: ΝΟΙ (with Α added above the line) | νοι | ΜΗΤΗ (with ΧΡΗΜ added. above the line) | μητ[ε?] | ΤΡΕΠΟΜΕΝΟΝ (with Ω added above the last Ο) | τρεπομέν[ο]v]

[^a5: at 6: ΑΝΤΕ.ΛΟΓΟΝ (with ΑΥΤΗΣ suggested for the first six letters) | ἀντ[ί]λογον | at the end KAI [but the fragment shows that there was no room for three letters before the right edge and what is still visible of the first is compatible with Χ but hardly with Κ]]

[^a6: at 7: ΚΑΙΝΟΤΟΜΗΣΑΙ | ΠΡ (with OΣ added above the line) | πρ[ [where it must be admitted that it would be easier to interpret what survives of the fifth letter as A]]

[^a7: at 8: ΕΦΥΛΑΣΑΤΙΝ (with Ξ added above Σ and Η above Ι) | ΘΕΩΝΚΩΝ (with ΡΙ written above the first Ν which has been crossed out) | θεων[ι]κῶν | θεωρικῶν]

[^a8: at 9: ΑΛ added before ΑΝΔΩΝ [but his layout shows that there was room for ΚΑΛ as restored by CIG.]]

[^a9: at 10: ΕΜΩΝ | [ἡ]μῶν]
