Notes:

• "παρὰ Ἰάσονος" means "from Jason."
• "τῶν καταβαινόντων" means "of those descending."
• "ἐπὶ τὸν κροτῶνα" could mean "onto the temple" (as in the side of the head) or possibly refer to a place-name "Croton."
• "σώματα" means "bodies."
• "λ (ἀρτάβας) ρ" is a numeric notation: λ = 30, ρ = 100. Possibly "130 artabas," but the exact interpretation depends on context.
• "ἀρτάβας" (artabas) is an ancient measure of capacity, commonly used for grain.
