Both the design of the stone and its position among monumental dedications lead to a dedicatory rather than funerary interpretation of what seems a couple of personal names.

[...], p. 532 cautiously did not keep the former restoration of the very rare and late name Endymion and let open the possibility to read either one mu or two lambdas as first preserved letter of the first name. The latter possibility might lead to read [Θρασ]υλλίων, a name already attested at Cyrene (IGCyr081200, l. 9 and IGCyr084000, l. 43). However no prosopographical clue allows to push this ahead.

For names in Cyrenaica derived with -υλο- and related suffixes, see [...] (also [...], 409-412).

The father's name should belong to the group of Ξην(ο)-, for which there exist various suffixes and endings. Reading nu for the third letter seems plausible from Pacho's drawing.
