Fraser suspected that the word missing at line 2, a feminine as inferred from the following αὐτήν should be a building, possibly a 'synagogue' or a 'chapel' which would lead to suspect Jews to be the dedicants mentioned at line 4. This idea is rejected by Lanciers ([...], pp. 431-433).

The inventory number shows that the stone was already part of the epigraphic collection at the time of the reorganization of the Cyrenaean antiquities after World War II care of Goodchild (from 1956 on) and before Fraser observed it. It may well have been found already during the last years of the Italian period.
