Λύσιος Εὐμενίδων. Κωρὴς. Μηλίχιος.

Autel appartenant à Lysis. Autel des Euménides. Courète. Mélikhios.

Altar belonging to Lysis. Altar of the Eumenides. Curete. Melichios.

Altare appartenente a Lysis. Altare delle Eumenidi. Curete. Melichios.

This is the most explicit of the series of nearby altars (see IGCyr064600 and IGCyr064800) and it helps to understand the abbreviated mentions on the others.

[...] suggested that Λύσιος was a divine name or epithet. However there is no example of such a divine name in Cyrenaica. Besides, such private altars often bear the owner's name, so that it seems more natural to consider this name as a personal name, all the more so as Lysis is very common in Cyrenaica.
