Apparatus
1: there was perhaps a reference to the εἰσωσται (ἰσωσται) but one would have expected the article before it; the opening of the owner's name in the genitive case ended the line, and the beginning of line 2 suggests that he was a Roman citizen and, given the likely date, with the nomen Aurelius (though this cannot be certain).
