[...] fils de [...]n, [...]xénos fils de [...]arkhos, [...]phantos fils de [...]iôn, [...].

[...] son of [...]n, [...]xenos son of [...]archos, [...]phantos son of [...]ion, [...].

[...] figlio di [...]n, [...]xenos figlio di [...]archos, [...]phantos figlio di [...]ion, [...].

The name ending width -ενος at line 2 can only be at the nominative case and is obviously a compound in ξενος, amongst which Φιλόξενος is the most favourite in Cyrenaica. However others are also attested there.

The nominative at line 2, followed by a genitive at line 3 help to determine the layout of the whole: a list of names and father's name alternatively mentioned, one name per line. This layout would fit the narrow side (about 0.14) of a larger stele. The resulting panel may have been re-cut in order to provide some sort of pavement or facing.

Given that line 4 has a nominative, the preserved ending should belong to a compound name with second stem -φαντος, several of which are attested in Cyrenaica, Ξηνόφαντος being the most frequent.
