The mason appears to have been illiterate; he omitted letters in lines 1, 3, 7 and 8, and added an inappropriate nu in line 4. However, the accusative form of the indefinite pronoun in line 7 (τιναν) should not be corrected: compare Ramsay, Phrygia II 530, no. 379 (SEG 6, 194, Eumeneia: Işıklı); Brixhe 1987: 65-6. For the ‘door’ in line 10, see Drew-Bear 1978: 59-62.
