Commentary

Oliverio's restorations of three names were not convincing, as already seen by Marengo. At l. 1, the honorandus' name may be a compound of -κλῆς or -θάλης as well; we leave the question open.

At l. 2, there are a lot of possiblities for the name ending with -κλεια of the woman responsible for the dedication.

For her father's name the restoration should be as short as possible, owing to the space available. So Πόσειδις, already attested at Cyrene, seems to be the best solution.
