commentary
Gentili speculatively read this as a reference to an individual called Aristodamos or Kleodamos, but as Robert already observed, this must, surely, as in ISic003348, be a reference to the damos (and was so restored by Manganaro). As with ISic003348 it was found in re-use in a late antique element of the fortification walls.
