† From Theodoros son of Menas, of Piame(?): donkey-loads, 2, two only, in the month Mesore, 24th, of the 4th indiction †

The abbreviation Πια(μὲ) is read as a place name or epithet and its expansion is uncertain. 'Donkey-loads' (onikai phorai) were a standard transport measure, probably here of wine or other goods delivered to the sanctuary.
