Untel fils de Dam[...] a consacré ce monument à Apollon.

So-and-so son of Dam[...] dedicated this monument to Apollo.

Il tale figlio di Dam[...] ha dedicato questo monumento ad Apollo.

This inscription was published by Pugliese Carratelli in the second part of SECir from a drawing by Oliverio and a sketchbook of Anti. The latter worked at Cyrene from 1925 to 1930, whence the date given for the find. Morelli, staying at Cyrene together with Pugliese Carratelli in 1960, found the stone in the Cyrene Museum and by lack of coordination republished it from autopsy in the third part of SECir.

The adopted restorations are the shortest possible, supposing that only the name of Apollo stood at line 3. It is impossible to know whether at line 1 we have two first names, as at IGCyr099600, or one name with father's name, which is more usual. The adopted restoration and translation fits the latter case, whereas the alternative proposition would fit the first case. From the place of the end of the god's name, it appears that it should have stood in the middle of the line with blanks at both ends.
