Praxiadas fils de Zènis.

Praxiadas son of Zenis.

Praxiadas figlio di Zenis.

The homogeneity of material and lettering, the multiplicity of the items and the content limited to name and father's name are good clues in favour of Bacchielli's interpretation of the series: we have here one of the few instances of ostracism attested elsewhere than at Athens. Bacchielli's dating of the lettering between ca. 420 and 380 is now discarded, although this provided in his view one further argument in favour of a strong Attic influence in that period. [...] shows that Praxiadas son of Zenis was the father of one victorious general taking part into the dedication IGCyr017100,which he dates about 335 BC. Rosamilia is thus able to place this ostrakophoria in the period of semi-democracy following 401.

For his part, [...] already argued that the Cyrenaean ostracism has no Attic origin and was no exclusive process of a, Attic-style democracy.He dated this one a little later than Bacchielli.

The other single ostraka, found with the most numerous mentioning Praxiadas son of Zenis and mentioning three different men, IGCyr082000, IGCyr082100 and IGCyr082200 should date more vaguely from the same period.
