Aurelius Iodes set (this) up for his own sister Doudou, in memoriam.

In lines 2-3, I take Υωδης to be an alternative spelling for the indigenous name Ιωδας/Ιωδης, which is widely attested across the western fringe of the plateau: see Zgusta 1964: 206 §496, and the commentary to MAMA XI 203 (1954/46: Çeşmelisebil). For the indigenous name Δουδου see Zgusta 1964: 154 §306-6; MAMA XI 228 (1957/8: Kulu).
