[...]υστράτω[^a1]

[^a1: [...]υστράτω | Εὐστράτω or Λεβυστράτω]

Un tel fils d'Astyllos, Un tel fils de [...]ystratos, Un tel fils de [...]eidas, Un tel fils d'Haniokhos, Un tel fils d'Andronikos, [...].

So and so son of Astyllos, So and so son of [...]ystratos, So and so son of [...]eidas, So and so son of Haniochos, So and so son of Andronikos, [...].

Il tale figlio di Astyllos, Il tale figlio di [...]ystratos, Il tale figlio di [...]eidas, Il tale figlio di Haniochos, Il tale figlio di Andronikos, [...].

This very carefully cut inscription lists names at the genitive case, thus fathers' names. Amongst them, Haniochos is very common and typical of Cyrenaica. Astyllos is already attested only once (IGCyr065200 a.i.54), with a lost father's name, at the beginning of the same century. For the name at line 2, amongst the possible restorations, three are favourite: Εὔστρατος, which is the name of a military officer about 335 BC (IGCyr084000 b.1.88); Πολύστρατος, of which the short form Πόλυστρις is a priest's name in IGCyr115000 i.36, in the second half of the third century BC; or Λι/εβύστρατος, a local name attested on coins and also attested twice in a lost context dated into the fourth century BC (IGCyr080300 a.2 and IGCyr097100 a.27). As for Andronikos, it is attested only once at the end of the second century BC (IGCyr115000 ii.25). We can only conclude that the men listed here belonged to the upper class of the Hellenistic Cyrene.
