This stone is known only through an overexposed picture that is difficult to decipher. However, the proposed readings are secure. The names in column b have clearly been cut later than those in column a. At Cyrene, a list of names and fathers' names cut successively in different hands can be interpreted as a list of eponymous priests. But such lists are never laid out in columns. Anyhow this fragment gives too small a sample to allow such an interpretation at Taucheira, a city where we do not know of eponymous priests.

At a.2, the ending -ηάδας can only belong to a typical temporary form of the local name Karnèdas (see [...], p. 49). This gives an average length for the lacuna at left, whence the common name Polyaratos restored at line 3. At line 1, the letters are more pressed together, so we restore the name Aristonymos, which moreover is the most common compound in -ώνυμος hitherto attested in the region and fits well the estimated lacuna.

Two fathers' names deserve a special mention, being both new forms built upon common stems: Ἅδυλις with the typically Cyrenaican -ις added as a secondary suffix to a form in -υλ(ο)-, whereas Εὐφρίας has, instead of -ις, the less frequent suffix -ίας added to the common stem Εὐφρ-.
