The inscription is probably lost. According to Hiller, it runs in an orthograde direction but is incomplete between the tau and the final alpha. Based on the information provided by the editor, the letters appear large and irregular in size.

The inscription is probably lost. According to Hiller, it runs left to right, but it is incomplete between the tau and the final alpha. Based on the information provided by Hiller, the letters are large and the letter height is not uniform (ranging between 0.06 and 0.08 m). In the absence of an autopsy, it is not possible to propose a more precise date than a generic archaic phase; however, based on Hiller’s scant notes, it is cautiously possible to suggest a mature archaic phase (late 6th–early 5th c. BCE). SGDI 4805: Astukrat--. Hiller’s restoration Ἀστυκρατ[δ]α is accepted, although with some uncertainty, by the LGPN (s.v.), which lists numerous attestations of the name in Rhodes (see also IThera054). It is also possible that the name could be restored after the final alpha with a san, since personal names in the genitive in this context of the Agora of the Gods are extremely rare (and doubtful), and so a masculine nominative should be read—as Hiller himself proposed in the general index. It is also possible, in principle, that this could be a feminine nominative; however, it should be noted that no feminine names are attested in this area, except in the case of inscription no. 369a, which is located far from this area and near the Gymnasium of the Ephebes in the area of the erotic graffiti.
