Commentary

Although tithe-offering to Apollo is better known at Cyrene, there are two instances, one sure (IGCyr004200²) and one probable (IGCyr003910²), of a tithe offered to Demeter at Taucheira. This makes the restoration adopted here more likely than the alternative δεξιά conjectured by Boardman, while referring to IGCyr004000². His third proposed reading is also not plausible with the particle δέ, which implies a structured argumentation.
