In Oliverio's papers, no findspot was given. Pugliese-Carratelli, who saw the stone, erroneously wrote in [...] that it was inside a 'Temple of Demeter' which is unknown in the Sanctuary of Apollo. In fact, its location in the so-called Temple of Dioscuri, checked again in 2001, is probably where Pugliese-Carratelli saw it in 1960. Although the stone was re-used, it probably already stood in the sanctuary of Apollo in its initial use.

We infer the date of the find from the number of Oliverio's sketchbook mentioned in [...].

Given the lettering and the name, rare at Cyrene, although related to numerous names in Ἀναξι-, the man mentioned at b.1 was probably the father of the priestess of Artemis mentioned at IGCyr092000.

This block was clearly part of a monument bearing statues. The lines a.2 and b.2 might have borne either the names of other dedicants or of persons honoured, mentioned at the accusative, whose statues would have stood on top. If so, the smaller lettering of d) might correspond to a child. The placement and smaller dimensions of the erased line e) is an attractive clue for an artist's signature (so also [...], n. 3).

[...] suggests a relation of the supposed child at d) with another obscure person mentioned at IGCyr097850, a wholly hypothetical suggestion.
