(a) [...] So-and-so son of [...]kartes, So-and-so son of Lysis, So-and-so son of Anaxippos, So-and-so son of Sostratos, So-and-so son of Antiochos, So-and-so son of Admetos, [...].

(a) [...] il tale figlio di [...]kartes, il tale figlio di Lysis, il tale figlio di Anaxippos, il tale figlio di Sostratos, il tale figlio di Antiochos, il tale figlio di Admetos, [...].

(b) [...], Lysis figlio del tale, Charixenos figlio del tale, Lysis figlio di Philo[...], Theuchrestos figlio di Kletomachos, Barkaios figlio di Pappos, Philothales figlio di Sosistratos, [...]s figlio di Hagesarchos, [...].

Gasperini already suspected that both fragments might belong to the same list and suggested that fragment a ([...], n. 2; [...], n. 18) might have been inscribed some years earlier than fragment b ([...], n. 1; [...], n. 19). In 1965 he had supposed that this might be a list of priests, but in 1967 he changed his mind because of what seemed to him the formula of a date through an eponymous priest at b.7. C. Dobias-Lalou, helped by the excellent photographs, suggested at [...] a new reading of that line. The hypothesis of a unique list of priests with names cut successively at different times was thus reinforced and both fragments were presented together.

[...] infers from the findspot on the agora that the priests might be those of Zeus Soter, for whose cult see IGCyr100000 and IGCyr064500. Moreover, he suggests that this first cult to Zeus on the agora was later associated with the cult of Augustus.

About the date, Gasperini had some inconsistency (perhaps due to a misprint). At [...] he gave III century BC, whereas at [...] he gave II-I BC. C. Dobias-Lalou agrees with J.M. Reynolds who, advising [...] about the different names, proposed II BC. [...] limited the period on behalf of both the lettering and the content.

At b.3 both Φίλωνος and Φιλώτα are plausible restorations.

At b.6, from the photograph, C. Dobias-Lalou sees the summit of the apex of a lambda, which allows for a compound in -θάλης. A common name in Cyrenaica is Φιλοθάλης which would fit the gap perfectly.
