This account is organised in two semesters, but not inscribed in two columns, as will be more usual. This display happens only here, in IGCyr013400, IGCyr013700, IGCyr013800 and in IGCyr063900.

This account is irregular in several ways: no amount was cut for the total expense, the general income is very low and much lower than the expense for sacrifices. It might be that the spaces for those amounts were first left empty and were cut later by someone who mingled the different sums. However, the special allowance for damiergoi is notably lower than on all other years. The stone has 52 dr. (with the not rare order single number + tens), which Oliverio, perhaps rightly, corrected to 150. This hypothesis was endorsed by [...], who thought that an order of numerals with units preceding tens would be unusual in Cyrenaica. That argument is not valid, as shown for instance in numerous epitaphs providing the age of the dead person. Anyway, that corrected amount would be still very far from the usual amount of 300 dr. So also [...], pp. 331-333. Another hypothesis, retained by Oliverio for his translation, is that exceptionally the amounts were written at the head of the sentences (thus 4280 dr. as income and 145 dr. as expense). However, this would not explain the lack of 'rest' and the very low levels of both income and retribution for damiergoi. See another explanation at IGCyr014300.
