<head>Commentary</head>
<p>This 3rd- or 2nd-century altar, is part of a group of mostly short inscriptions (cf. e.g. <ref target="CGRN_53">CGRN 53</ref> and <ref target="CGRN_54">CGRN 54</ref>) found in Piraeus and in or near the city Asklepieion of Athens, prescribing the (preliminary) offering of cakes to various divinities. We can make sense of this fragmentary inscription by its resemblance to the other inscriptions in this group. Perhaps the inscription started (line 1) with the name of a divinity in the genitive (as in <ref target="CGRN_77">CGRN 77</ref> or <ref target="CGRN_134">CGRN 134</ref>), expressing that this is the divinity's cult or altar, or in the dative (as in <ref target="CGRN_53">CGRN 53</ref> and <ref target="CGRN_54">CGRN 54</ref> B), indicating the deity as indirect object. The lettertraces on the first preserved line, curved traces showing the lower part of a round letter are probably <foreign>omicrons</foreign> (with one space between them). The appeasing cake ἀρεστήρ seems the most likely restoration (so Ziehen), since it occurs in combination with a κηρίον in <ref target="CGRN_53">CGRN 53</ref> and <ref target="CGRN_95">CGRN 95</ref>. Hence we do not follow Sokolowski, who supplies the word [μ]ο̣[ν]ό̣[μφαλα] (cp. <ref target="CGRN_77">CGRN 77</ref> and <ref target="CGRN_134">CGRN 134</ref>).
