τόνδε σοι βωμὸν θυώδη, πρέσβα κυδίστη θεῶν
Ἑστία, Διὸς κ(α)τ᾽ ἄλσος καλλίδενδρον ἔκτισεν
καὶ κλυταῖς ἤσκησε λοιβαῖς ἐμπύροις Ἡλιόδοτος
ὄφρα τὸμ πάντων μέγιστον Εὐθύδημον βασιλέων
τοῦ τε παῖδα καλλίνικον ἐκπρεπῆ Δημήτριον
πρευμενὴς σώιζηις ἐκηδεῖ(ς) σὺν τύχαι θεόφρον[ι]
|"Heliodotos dedicated this fragrant altar for [[Hestia]], 
venerable goddess, illustrious amongst all, in the grove of [[Zeus]], with beautiful trees; 
he made libations and sacrifices, 
so that the greatest of all kings Euthydemos, 
as well as his son, the glorious, victorious and remarkable Demetrios, 
be preserved from all pains, with the help of [[Tyche]] with divine thoughts."<ref>Shane Wallace [https://www.academia.edu/25638818 Greek Culture in Afghanistan and India: Old Evidence and New Discoveries] p.211</ref><ref>[http://www.attalus.org/docs/seg/s54_1569.html Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum: 54.1569]</ref>|Kuliab inscription, 200–195 BCE}}
