Karnedas figlio di Aiglanor, Haniochos figlio di Archedamos, Aiglanor figlio di Bakal, Polianthes figlio di Kartisthenes, Kallimachos figlio di Poseidonios, Mnasarchos figlio di Euphranor, Etearchos figlio di Kleon.

Names at ll. 1 and 2 may be restored with certainty, because they are the only ones from the onomastic record fitting the space available and are both typical Cyrenaican names.

This list of names is very similar to the bulk of lists of eponymous priests, which, although less numerous than in the Roman period, existed already in the Hellenistic era (see [...]). Dobias-Lalou for [...] thought that this list was one of them, as did the first editors, who suggested that the stone had been brought from the agora to the sanctuary of Demeter on occasion of its first reuse. However, [...], having shown that IGCyr006800, found in that extra-mural sanctuary, might be a list of priests of Dionysos, thinks that the present list might be another one.

All names here are very common in high-rank families of Cyrene. [...] has convincingly pointed out that Carnedas son of Aiglanor (line 1) is plausibly the proxenos of Sparta mentioned in [...], VI.1.5 (about 188 BC). Whereas the Callimachos son of Poseidonios (line 5) whom he thinks might be a thearodochos of Delphi mentioned in [...], p. 21, IV, l. 21, the identification remains uncertain, as his father's name is not mentioned there and his own name is a very common one at Cyrene.

The stone having been obviously re-cut, it seemed dubious whether lines 1 and 7 were respectively the beginning or the end of the list. And for [...], Dobias-Lalou thought that the photograph might show some traces of erased letters below line 7. Thanks to Rosamilia's direct examination of the stone, that idea was proven false: the blank is really a blank.

One further thought: when studying IGCyr006800, Rosamilia was inclined to look for non-eponymous priests because of the paucity of prosopographical relations that might be established in that list, whereas it is proven that eponymous priests of Apollo were members of the high-rank families of Cyrene. It is not the case in the present list. However, Rosamilia's demonstration remains attractive on behalf of the localisation of the find and is adopted here.
