The names on this inscription, written in different hands and found in the sanctuary of Apollo, should list eponymous priests of Apollo, as already suggested by [...]. This idea has proved more probable after the new study by [...]. First he argued that the three names in koine beginning at line 9 are the linguistic reflect of a period when non-Cyrenaeans were eponymous priests of Apollo, in the first years of the Ptolemaic re-annexation of Cyrenaica. He was then able to restore the names of the two priests mentioned at lines 10 and 11: one was Glaukon son of Eteokles, an Athenian-born, brother of the well-known Chremonides, who fled to Alexandria after 262 and served Ptolemy III; the other one would be Eteoneus son of Eteoneus, from a family affluent at the same court and also related through marriage with Pelops son of Pelops (see IGCyr063300). Both would have been priests of Apollo at Cyrene, as well as the two mentioned at lines 12 and 13, who are not identifiable.

Moreover, Rosamilia suggested to identify three of the preceding priests, who were members of prominent Cyrenaean families: Iason son of Biandros (line 7) might be akin to the son of Biandros in the list of subscribers (IGCyr009300 a.6); Elaiitas son of Theudoros (line 4) might be the grandson of the homonymous priest who dedicated the so-called 'bench of Elaiitas' (IGCyr080500) and possibly a brother of the dedicator of IGCyr102000. As to the one mentioned at line 5, read by him as Polydoros son of Polianthes, possibly the priest whose name is also incomplete in the account of damiergoi IGCyr013800, Dobias-Lalou does not agree. In her opinion, the gap, as compared with the very similar beginning of the father's name, would be too short for three letters. She sticks thus to the former reading Theudoros. Conversely, she agrees now with Pugliese Carratelli and Rosamilia about line 6, where Nautas, although unique in Cyrenaica, fills the gap better than Philytas.

Although [...], p. 190, discussing [...], p. 113, n. 6, dated the lettering to the second or first century BC, we already felt at [...] that the lettering seems to be somewhat earlier. Rosamilia's study leads to a date of the re-annexation of Cyrenaica about 250 and the first names in the list (all priests are not necessarily mentioned) might be up to 10 years earlier.
