Commentary

This is probably, as Ferri thought, the beginning of a personal name, that of the owner of the altar. For similar mentions, see commentary at IGCyr032000. Amongst the personal names attested in Cyrenaica, there are only very rare instances of both Σύρος and Συρακόσιος. It would be hazardous to restore one of them here.
