At the start of line 2, we have the letters ΑΛΡΥ with an abbreviation mark above them; it is possible that this should be understood as an abbreviation for the name Ἀλ(εξάνδ)ρ(ο)υ. In that case, we could restore the second clause e.g. [καὶ ὑπερὶ σωτηρίας] Ἀλ(εξάνδ)ρ(ο)υ κὲ παντὸς τοῦ γένου⟨ς⟩ αὐτ[οῦ]. For memorial dedications of this kind in central Phrygia, see the commentary to MAMA XI 184 (1955/21: Synnada), and cf. MAMA XI 172 (1956/19: Bal Mahmut).
