At lines 4-5, two types of restoration seem possible: either ἑξάμηνον was explicit and barley was missing for that year, either, as Oliverio proposed, the word 'semester' was subaudible and κριθᾶν was mentioned without unit, contrasting with the unit mentioned for wheat. We prefer the first solution for sake of clarity, notwithstanding the necessity of admitting a short space.

For the name of the priest, Gasperini suggested Philytas as a possibility, although he eventually preferred to restore Philekis, which he found well preserved in IGCyr081200, line 4. [...], arguing that only the lower part of a hasta was preserved, choose to restore Philinos, which is the name (with same father's name) of a priest known from IGCyr009200. He proposed thus to identify the same man in both inscriptions, dating his priesthood between 270 and 260 BC. A new study of both Oliverio's photograph and our squeeze shows that the space between the lambda and the following letter is much larger that the spaces before and after the iota of the perceding syllable. This observation eliminates both Philinos and Philekis. We stick therefore to a fragmentary upsilon, although the identification suggested in [...] with Φιλύτας Εὐμηλίδα mentioned in the list of names IGCyr096700 is no longer valid (see commentary there).

For the father's name of the first damiergos, from the last preserved letter only a very short inferior part of a hasta is preserved; rather than iota, which gives no attested name, we prefer kappa, allowing to restore the name Prokles, which is attested six times at Cyrene during the IV and III century BC. This reading, enhanced by [...], allows to plausibly relate (or identify) him with a priest of an unknown deity mentioned in IGCyr115000.
