La statue d'Aiglanor fils de Damatrios, Parent de Ptolémée qui fut notre roi, pour les nombreuses grandes démonstrations qu'il a faites en paroles et en actes de son affection envers eux a été consacrée, par les Cyrénéens.

The statue of Aiglanor son of Damatrios, Akin to Ptolemy once our king, on behalf of the many great demonstrations in deeds and in words of his love towards themselves, was dedicated by the Cyrenaeans.

La statua di Aiglanor figlio di Damatrios, Parente di Tolemeo che è stato nostro re, in considerazione delle molte dimostrazioni con le parole e con i fatti del suo affetto nei loro confronti, è stata dedicata dai Cirenei.

(تمثال) إيجلانور بن داماتريوس، قريب ملكنا بطليموس، لأجل ظهوره أو مشاركته اللافته في العديد من الاعمال العظيمة ولكلماته المحبه لهم، [أهدي] (هذا التمثال .له) من قبل الكيرينيين

Morelli and Reynolds had seen the stone in the right position for someone reading this inscription. Later on, Gasperini found the stone and described it as having been used twice. He supposed that a similar block had stood at right of this side. However his description is somewhat confusing as to the different sides and the caption of his figure 5 is erroneous. Dobias-Lalou now thinks that there were three successive phases, as described above.

This dedication is very similar to IGCyr065000 and has been restored as fully parallel by Laronde who had not found the stone. However, Gasperini has shown that there were some substantial differences.

The common problem of both inscriptions is the exact meaning of the aorist participle βασιλεύσαντος: it might refer either to a dead king (Ptolemy IX Soter II or the discussed Ptolemy Apion) or to a king who no longer reigned over Cyrenaica (Ptolemy IX Soter II, after he flew to Cyprus in 107 BC). It might also be Ptolemy VIII, as shown by Criscuolo. See commentary at IGCyr065000

About the discovery of the stone see the report now published by [...], p. 141, which confirms that the stone was found at the very place where Gasperini and Dobias-Lalou saw it later.
