Letters: Regular letters (0.011) with developed serifs; pi with 'butterfly' serifs, rho with rather small loop.

Date: End of second or beginning of first century BC (lettering).

Findspot: Plausibly found before World War II at Cyrene ➚, exact findspot not registered.

Place of origin: Findspot.

Last recorded location: Cyrene Museum, 529. Seen in 1977 by Dobias-Lalou in Shahat: Cyrene Museum.

Commentary

We have here a list of names. The lettering and display look like those in some lists of ephebes. As to the depth of the panel (if we really have it here) the most similar item would be IGCyr103800², but comparing the squeezes shows that they differ both in spacement and depth of characters.

The faint traces of a final sigma at line 4 induces to restore nominatives, but this is not quite sure. Apart from Damatrios, which seems rather certain at line 5, we are only able to guess parts of names: in -kritos (or Krito-) at line 2 and in -ippos (or Hipp-) at line 6, the preferred readings being more plausible if the display was columnar.
