Νικάθλα ⋮ Αἰγλάνορος

Νικάθλα ⋮[^a1]

[^a1: Νικάθλα ⋮ | Κριτόλα]

Nikathla fille d'Aiglanôr.

Nikathla daughter of Aiglanor.

Nikathla figlia di Aiglanor.

Reading the first preserved letter as an omicron, the first editors thought of a woman's name of the group corresponding to masculine compounds in -λαος, of which the suggested Κριτολᾶ is only one amongst other possibilities. We know in fact of a woman of that name, also daughter of an Aiglanor, who was priestess of Hera in the first century AD (see IRCyr2020 C.129). However, the gap in time is too big to allow any relation between them. In fact, C. Dobias-Lalou reads the first preserved letter as a theta with a large circle and a thin central dot, whereas both omicrons are smaller. The masculine name Νίκαθλος is well attested and typically Cyrenaican (see [...], p. 92). So a feminine Νικάθλα is a guess matching exactly the gap.
