[...], sous la prêtrise de Ka[...]ès fils de Mnasias. La récolte a été estimée: orge, tant; froment, 3 drachmes; légumineuses, tant; raisins secs, 1 drachme 2 oboles 1/2; figues tant; olives tant; huile tant; [...].

[...], under priest Ka[...]es son of Mnasias. The crops were estimated: barley, so much; wheat, 3 drachmas; pulse, so much; raisins, 1 drachma 2 obols 1/2; figs so much; olives so much; oil so much; [...].

[...], sotto il sacerdote Ka[...]es figlio di Mnasias. Il raccolto è stato valutato: orzo, tanto; grano, 3 dracme; legumi, tanto; uva passa, 1 dracma 2 oboli 1/2; fichi, tanto; olive, tanto; olio, tanto; [...].

[---]، تحت اشراف الكاهن كا [---] يس بن مناسياس، [المحاصيل] قدرت كالتالي: الشعير، [قيمة ما]. القمح، 3 دراخما؛ البقوليات، [قيمة ما]؛ الزبيب، 1 دراخما و½2 أوبول؛ التين [قيمة ما]؛ الزيتون [قيمة ما]. الزيت [قيمة ما]. [---].

The few letters preserved at the end of lines 1-5 do not allow a secure restoration. At that place, we should await the mention 'Gods', followed by the names of the three damiergoi. At line 3, instead of Oliverio's Βάλακρος, unknown in Cyrenaica and typically Macedonian, one might prefer Φάλακρος, attested for a Cyrenaean in Mopsion (IG IX.2.1056), if only more letters were preserved. Alternatively, there exist a few compound names in -ακρος, which would be possible. At lines 4-5, the personal name Πρύτανις is possible, if followed by a short father's name. At the end of line 5 we might suggest the Libyan name Ελικαν; for the father the mythological names Πρίαμος, really too short, or preferably Πριαμίδας would be plausible. However, that does not fill all the space available and does not account for the vestiges at lines 1-2.

Another lead has been explored by [...], p. 53 and 156. On behalf of the segment ΠΡΥΤΑΝ he supposes that the prytaneion is mentioned here, as well as, perhaps, its akroteria. As in IGCyr011100, the damiergoi would be in charge of decorating the building serving as their office, namely the prytaneion. Lines 1-5 would thus be the vestiges of a decree preceding this account, which, in his view, is one of the most ancient of his first group, hence a date between 365 and 360 BC. This tatalizing view is on the whole as hypothetical as the preceding tentative one.

Line 7: the reading of elided ἐπί is sure, as pi is clear both from Oliverio's photograph and from Dobias-Lalou's squeeze. The priest's name is irregularly at the nominative case instead of the genitive. A similar irregularity may be found at IGCyr011800. For the priest's own name, different restorations are possible besides Oliverio's Καλλισθένης, which is quite uncommon in Cyrenaica during the Hellenistic period. [...], perhpas duly, chooses Καρτισθένης because it is most common in Cyrenaica. For a possible family relation with an Olympionikas of 464, see [...], p. 162.

Line 10: the sign for 1/5 drachma, instead of being angular, has on that stone a lunate shape, like at IGCyr013600.
