Commentary

At line 1 it would also be theoretically possible to read the name Θεύδωρος with one letter missing at left. However, that is less probable because at line 2 we do have, slightly farther to the right, the beginning of another personal name. For the latter, related to the stem of θαῦμα, several names are possible. The only other occurrence in Cyrenaica is also incomplete (IGCyr084000² a.74).
