Christabelle has chosen to have her translation mirror as closely as possible the word order of the original Ancient Greek. Project Director Chaniotis offers the following, more idiomatic, translation:
Eimertos from Marathon, son of Polycharmos, dedicates (a statue
of) his own benefactor, Polycharmos, the son of Eukles from Marathon
The high priest of Tiberius Caesar Augustus
and priest of the ancestral Apollo,
in the priesthood of Kleo
the daughter of Eukles
from Phlya.
