Dedication

Commentary

Aristodemos and Phanion honor their victorious daughter. Unfortunately the name of the daughter and the kind of contest are no longer legible on the damaged stone; it is not certain that this was a sports contest. Some scholars take the name Phanion to be that of the athlete, but epigraphically this is unlikely.

Translation

Aristodemos, the son of Aristanax, and
Phanion, the daughter of Onesandros, (dedicated this statue of)
… their daughter,
who won …,
to Leto.
