Ἀλέξανδρ-
ος Δορυμέ-
νου Ἀριστέ-
ω εὐχήν
Alexandros son of Dorymenes, grandson of Aristeus, in fulfillment of a vow.

For the name Δορυμένης in northern Lykaonia, see the commentary to MAMA XI 284 (1956/129: Zengicek [Koçyaka]). I assume that Ἀριστέω (lines 3-4) should be understood as the genitive of Ἀριστεύς with loss of the final sigma; compare, in lines 2-3, Δορυμένου for Δορυμένους.
