ἀρχισωματοφύλα[...][^a1]

[^a1: ἀρχισωματοφύλα[...] | σωματοφύλα[...]]

Un tel fils de [...]ippos, archisomatophylax [...].

So-and-so son of [...]ippos, archisomatophylax [...].

Il tale figlio di [...]ippos, archisomatophylax[...].

The personal name at the genitive case at l. 1 seems to be the father's name, probably of the donor.

At line 2, the preserved letters are probably, as suggested by J.M. Reynolds, part of the title 'bodyguard', for which either σωματοφύλαξ or the upper rank ἀρχισωματοφύλαξ would be possible (the latter already attested at IGCyr015500). If so, the inscription might mention honours for a Lagid officer or emanating from him. Anyhow it would reinforce the feeling that the inscription dates before the end of the Hellenistic monarchy in Cyrenaica.
