The alphabetic Greek contains the name in the accusative (Aristo:na
Aristo:naktos eupatride:n). Aristo:naktos is a genitive ("[son] of
Aristowanax"). There is no nominative.

The part in Cypriot syllabary apparently contains only genitives:
Aristo:nos Artowanxokoos "Kerakeretulos" (I'm not sure Gordon's
transcription is right here: one can also read
ke-ra-ke-lu-(ki?)-lo-se).
