The lettering suggests a date in the 1st half of the third century BC, while Beschi would bring the base down somewhat later.

The name Ξάνθις is here more probably a masculine in -ι-, short form of compound names like Ξάνθιππος and alike, rather than a feminine in -ίδ- (see [...]), a type that is not at all common in Cyrenaica.

The Thorns supposed this base to come from the North Necropolis on the assumption that the Italian archaeologists worked only on the part before World War II.
