οὐ [...]εκλ[...] οὔτε πωλῶν τοὺς ἀγροὺς οὔτε ὑποτιθεὶς οὔτε [...] οὔτε κατ' ἄλλην οὐδεμίαν παρεύρεσιν στερίσκων τόν τε θεὸν καὶ τοὺς Κυρηναίους [...]

τοὺς ἀγροὺς[^a1] [...][^a2] θεὸν καὶ τοὺς Κυρηναίους[^a3]

[^a1: τοὺς ἀγροὺς | τούτους τοὺς ἀγροὺς]

[^a2: [...] | ἀποδωρῶν | ἰδιώμενος | μισθῶν]

[^a3: θεὸν καὶ τοὺς Κυρηναίους | [...]ους]

[...]ne[...], pas [...], ni en vendant les terrains ni en les hypothéquant, ni en les [...]ant, ni en en privant sous quelque prétexte que ce soit le dieu et les Cyrénéens.

[...]not[...] neither by selling the fields, nor mortgaging them, nor [...]ing them, nor depriving of them on any account the god and the Cyrenaeans.

[...]non [...] né vendendo li terreni, né ipotecandoli, né [...]andoli, né sottraendoli con nessun altro pretesto al dio e ai Cirenei.

Those lines, although not separated from the preceding ones (IGCyr062820) and dealing with similar subjects, should be considered a different document, as they are written in koine and cut in larger letters. They might be a quotation from a Ptolemaic decision, on which the preceding decree would be modelled.

[...] rightly pointed out that the rule is here not to alienate the fields belonging to Apollo, thus the income provided by them. Therefore, the lost paticiple at the beginning of line 3 should mean either 'donating' or 'appropriating'. He suggests restorations, none of which seems exactly fitting.

If the restoration at l. 5 is good, it would show that the fields belonging to Apollo were also considered a possession of the city.

The indications about the findspots were provided to C. Dobias-Lalou by E. Catani from Pernier's archive kept at the University of Macerata. Although both fragments were found separately, the distance between both spots is moderate and such small fragments may have been moved at any date in late antiquity or in modern times.
