	Text Commentary
	"Since its first reading by Ernst Kalinka in 1944, the inscription has been eroded by 1-3 letters from the right margin between lines 5-10. Therefore, the writing of the last letters in the reading of the inscription has been changed to completion (Tüner Önen, 2008, 344-345, no. 32)."
