It has been argued that Ἄριστις Φίλωνος (l. 1) and Σθένων Χαρικλεῦς (l. 26) could be the victorious dedicants of IGCyr016900, here probably officers of lower rank. Whence a date about 340 BC ([...], pp. 67-68, 132, also citing Oliverio). However, [...] (probably upon J.M. Reynolds’ opinion) gives IV/III as date for all names, except that of l. 1. One argument against a higher date could be the non-dialectal endings –ου at ll. 2, 3 and 13, but O in both copies might also be misread for Ω. [...], pp. 251-252 gives some arguments against the mentioned identification of Sthenon and suggested cautiously that this might be a list of priests.

[...] shares the idea of a list of priests. Taking into account the place where both Della Cella and Pacho reported their copying the inscription (erroneoulsy given in [...]), he suggests convincingly that the names are those of priests of a male deity whose cult was related to that of Demeter, i.e. Dionysos.

Names Βίμβων (l. 3) and Πάταλλος (l. 8), which were read by both travellers, are not known elsewhere.

At l. 13 Pacho's copy produces another problematic name. Dobias-Lalou first suggested a wholly Libyan name Εχθαπαν ([...]). Minon ([...]) was able to compare it to the Beotian name Ἐχθάτιος, related to ἔχθος and supposed that the Cyrenaean name was rebuilt with a Libyan ending, as in for example Ἀρίμμαν. However, we know of such alterations only for Greek names ending with -ας. Another possibility might be that an omega was misread as an alpha, the suffix -ων being very usual, the more so that in the copy some omegas are of small size and cut high above the line and their summits might have been taken as those of alpha.

At l. 17, it seems possible to suspect a Libyan name behind the mysterious Χιραυρα, but no parallel exists up to now.
