[^a2: καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῶν | καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν [A. Bencivenni's reading.]]

La statue de [...] fils de Boïskos titre aulique a été consacrée par les Cyrénéens en raison de sa valeur et de son dévouement envers le roi Ptolémée et la reine Arsinoé, Dieux Philopatores, ainsi que leur fils.

The statue of [...] son of Boiskos his title was dedicated by the Cyreaeans, in respect of his valour and his goodwilling towards kingPtolemy and queen Arsinoe, Gods Philopatores, and also their son.

La statua di [...] figlio di Boiskos titolo aulico è stata dedicata dai Cirenei in considerazione del suo valore e della sua dedizione verso il re Tolemeo e la regina Arsinoe, Dèi Filopatori, e i loro figli.

أُهْدِي (تمثال) [c. 7] ابن بويسكوس [(لقبه)] من قِبل الكيرينيين، لأجل أفضاله [ونواياه الحسنة تجاه الملك] بتوليميوس (بطليموس) [والملكة أرسينوي]، المؤلهان فيلوباتورس (المُحِبان لِأَبَيْهُما)، [وكذلك (تجاه) ابنهما].

Fraser's restorations are based on two facts: the length of the lines, inferred from the place of the only letter surviving of l. 5, and the preserved epithet Philopator.

However, at l. 4 our restoration is based on the fact that only one son, the future Ptolemy V Epiphanes, is known for the royal couple.

For the possible title Λιβυάρχας, see [...], p. 417, now supported by [...], pp. 93-96. See at IGCyr063300.

It is a mere possibility that the father Boiskos was related to Kallikrates son of Boiskos, a nauarch of Ptolemy Philadelphus (so [...], p. 112, n. 5 and [...], p. 417).
