Translation
[Meaning] the vine [of that name], [named] after a certain Althephos.1 Also [sc. attested as the names of wines are] 'Anthedonian' and 'Hyperian', [named] after Hyperos and Anthedon.2 An oracle [says]: "drink wine on the lees, since you do not live in Anthedon, or sacred Hypera, where you used to drink wine without lees".
