Commentary

The name of the dedicant was restored as Πολιάνθης in by Fraser himself or on Reynolds' proposal, presumably because of its numerous occurrences in Cyrenaean omomastics. However Dobias-Lalou thinks that only three letters are missing. Although that restoration, including an iota, is not impossible, the name Δαμάνθης in also known in Cyrenaica and would fit the gap. So it seems better to remain cautious about the lost letters.

Morelli's indication about the place of observation is very vague («Piazzale, a destra del Santuario di Apollo, guardando verso lo Strategeion»). However it allows to think that the stone has not been moved between 1960 and 1983. We thus suppose that he saw it in the same area where it still lay in 2004. About the excavations of that area we now take advantage of the ancient reports published by , p. 141 .
