Cassels' unpublished reading was not complete and lacked information about the layout of both sections. J.M. Reynolds' tentative translation communicated to the Thorns is therefore dubitative.

D'Addazio suggested to read section B before section A, which would give both father's and mother's names. This seems impossible in terms of nomenclature, although it is quite possible that the deceased person mentioned at line 2 is a child of the pair mentioned at line 1.

The woman's name Epikrita is already attested on a much later mosaic at Cyrene and corresponds to the masculine Epikritos, rare, but attested elsewhere.

The form Μυρός, dialectal genitive of the woman's name Μυρώι, now supported by IGCyr138800, corroborates the formerly isolated genitive λεχός at IGCyr016700, l. 109.
