This inscription has been originally considered a dedication to the god Horus, with a dative ending without iota that was inconsistent with the chronology. Rosamilia's interpretation is much more convincing. The layout with the names of the persons portrayed above at the nominative case and below a full sentence giving the name of the person among them who was responsible for the dedication has an exact parallel in IGCyr097900. At line 2 of the lost column a, there should have been an indication about an office held by the other dedicant.
Alternatively the missing name at section ii might be at the accusative case, for the person whose statue was dedicated, and the names at i.a and i.b would be that of the dedicants.
Although both name and father's name of the priest who made the present dedication are frequently used in Cyrenaica, the very similar script of IGCyr101500 allows to infer that the latter might be a dedication by the son of the priest; if of the same family, the Aristis son of Theudoros who subscribed about 280 B.C. (IGCyr065210, col. a, l. 147) might be the priest himself.
