Les théores envoyés à Delphes, [...]s fils de Paraibatas, [...]n fils de Sôgénès, [...]tos fils d'Aiglanôr, [...]s fils d'Euryptolémos, [...]nès fils de Philokômos, ont consacré ce monument à Apollon Sôtèr.

The theoroi sent to Delphi, [...]s son of Paraibatas, [...]n son of Sogenes, [...]tos son of Aiglanor, [...]s son of Euryptolemos, [...]nes son of Philokomos, dedicated this monument to Apollo Soter.

I theoroi inviati a Delfi, [...]s figlio di Paraibatas, [...]n figlio di Sogenes, [...]tos figlio di Aiglanor, [...]s figlio di Euryptolemos, [...]nes figlio di Philokomos, hanno dedicato questo monumento ad Apollo Sotere.

Only the patronymics of all five thearoi are preserved. [...], proposed to identify the son of Paraibatas at l. 3 with a man elsewhere known as priest of Apollo, but the restitution seems to long for the space available. [...] in turn suggests to identify him as the son of a commander at IGCyr015100. Given the frequency of the name Paraibatas, both hypotheses seem far-fetched.

At l. 4, before the initial sigma of the father's name Σωγἐνευς there is only part of a vertical hasta, hence a name ending with Ν.

At l. 5, [...] is right in turning down the proposal of [...], p. 99, who thought that traces of two pis were discernable. Conversely, we cannot follow Rosamilia for lines 6 and 7 because of the very poor vestiges of the names, although he suggests to identify here sons of two damiergoi.

At l. 8, there is space for an article before the name of Apollo; at l. 9, the epithet Soter is surprising for Apollo in Cyrenaica, but may be related to his protection against sea dangers; the space available would be filled by the article.

Alternatively, the dedication might have been made to two gods, the second being the well known Zeus Soter, but the space would only allow for Ζηνὶ Σωτῆρι and this would not fit well with the article τῶι at l. 8.

This dedication by the thearoi sent to Delphi probably occurred during the ceremony known as prothearia at IGCyr109200.
