Commentary

Although tithe-offering to Apollo is better known at Cyrene, there are two instances, one sure (IGCyr004200) and one probable (IGCyr003910), of a tithe offered to Demeter at Taucheira. This makes the restoration adopted here more likely than the alternative δεξιά conjectured by Boardman, while referring to IGCyr004000. His third proposed reading is also not plausible with the particle δέ, which implies a structured argumentation.
