Line 8: ἐτείμησεν Sterrett; ἐτίμησεν MAMA IV.
[The g]e[rou]s[ia honoured] Ammia and Artemidoros, the children of Antaios, because of the benefactions of their father Antaios and their ancestors towards the gerousia. Similarly, the demos also honoured them, because of the benefactions of their father Antaios and their ancestors.

Sterrett read the lower part of the sigma at the end of line 1; the editors of MAMA IV saw nothing in line 1, and stated incorrectly that ‘the line supplied at the top was doubtless engraved on the capstone of this pedestal’. For honours voted as a result of ancestral benefactions, cf. IAph2007 12.518 (honours for Tryphosa Pauleina) διά... τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τῶν προγόνων αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν πατρίδα ἐν πᾶσι φιλοτειμείαν. It is unclear why the editors of MAMA IV wished to date the monument to the latter half of the first century BC. The monument was still visible in the courtyard wall of Bülbül Camii in August 2010.
