Apparatus criticus

Подчеркнутые буквы в настоящее время не читаются на камне. ; дополнения Лепера (с незначительными изменениями).
3: ΗΡΑΚΕΙΔΑ Lapis.
3-4: [τοῦ δάμου] | σπεύδοντος ποτὶ τ[ὸν πόλεμον? ---]IOSPE I2 не исключено дополнение инфинитива с приставкой ποτι-.
6-7: [τὸν ἑαυ]|τοῦ κίνδυνονLatyshev1902,IOSPE I2 ; однако в конце стк. 7 скорее следы Υ, чем Ν, за ним следы еще одной буквы (возможно, часть верхней петли Β).
