To Asklepios and Hygeia, gods who listen, [..]enaios son of Numerius, in fulfillment of a vow.

The name in line 2 is presumably to be restored either [Ἀθ]ηναῖος or [Ἰρ]ηναῖος; for the name Athenaios, compare MAMA XI 368 (1956/193: Komitanassos). On the name Numerius in Asia Minor, see Salomies 2006: 106 n.92. For Asklepios and Hygeia as θεοὶ ἐπήκοοι, cf. e.g. MAMA IX 61 (Aizanoi); Ramsay, Phrygia II 377, no. 198 (Eumeneia); on the epithet ἐπήκοος, see the commentary to MAMA XI 365 (1956/191). A dedication to Asklepios Soter is known from the neighbouring city of Savatra (MAMA VIII 226: Yağlıbayat).
