Edition after Inglese 2008 Hiller 1899: ΕΠΙΔΙΑϘΟΣ or ἐπὶ Ἄβαϙος ?

The inscription, written in retrograde, is barely legible. Hiller proposed two possible readings because in his 1903 revision the fourth letter appeared to be an alpha and the fifth an open beta, similar to what is found in no. 1427 leading him to hypothesize ἐπὶ Ἄβαϙος (?). The editor does not include the apograph. In 2003 only the following letters were legible: epsilon, pi, iota, beta, second alpha. Traces of the first alpha were visible.
