So-and-so son of So-and-so, So-and-so son of So-and-so, [...]ilea daughter of [...]ippos dedicated the statue of So-and-so son of [...]tos.

The most plausible restoration implies that there were three dedicants, whose father's name was written below (see for example IGCyr097900); however, if the artist was mentioned with name + father's name + ethnic, four dedicants are not impossible.

Anyhow there seems to be no text lost at right (contra Morelli in [...]).

Differently, in Fraser's view, lines 1 and 2 bore the names of two persons honoured by one single person whose name was written on line 3.

The first preserved letter at line 1 being an iota and not an eta, feminine names like Ἀκευσιλέα, Ἀναξιλέα or Κυδιλέα, all three already attested in Cyrenaica would be possible guesses.
