Commentary

About the circumstances of the discovery, see Sillani 2014, p. 104.

This block was found near a series of rock-cut altars, some of them inscribed (IGCyr003300², IGCyr066000², IGCyr066100² and IGCyr066500²); at other places, there are also side by side divine and human names, so the obvious interpretation is the name of a worshipper.

The most plausible restoration for the personal name would be Ἁγέστρατος, which is not unknown in Cyrenaica and most common in Rhodes. However, it is perhaps better to leave the question open.
