Names at ll. 1 and 2 may be restored with certainty, because they are the only ones from the onomastic record fitting the space available and are both typical Cyrenaican names.
This list of names is very similar to later lists of priests, about which see for instance IRCyr C.394. For other possible instances of late Hellenistic date, see
All names here are very common in high-rank families of Cyrene.
The stone having been obviously re-cut, it is impossible to guess whether lines 1 and 7 are respectively the beginning or the end of the list. Moreover, the photograph seems to show some traces of erased letters below line 7, but this cannot be pushed ahead without direct examination.
It should be remembered that those lists are no annals and mention, one by one, in chronological order, only some of the eponymous priests, who were thought deserving that honour by a public authority, giving permission to cut their names on steles standing both in Apollo's sanctuary and on the agora.
