Squeeze of MAMA XI 228 (Kinna 7: 1957-8)
For the spelling ἀνέσθησεν (lines 3-4), see Brixhe 1987: 110-3 and cf. MAMA XI 230 (1957/4); MAMA XI 236 (1957/14). The word order in lines 6-9 is very odd, and the final word, the indigenous woman’s name Δουδου(ς) (see Zgusta 1964: 154 §306-6; MAMA XI 236 [1957/14: Yaraşlı]), seems to be inscribed in a different hand; presumably it was accidentally omitted from the original inscription.
