Commentary

It has been argued that Ἄριστις Φίλωνος (l. 1) and Σθένων Χαρικλεῦς (l. 26) could be the victorious dedicants of IGCyr016900, here probably officers of lower rank. Whence a date about 340 B.C. ( Laronde, 1987 , pp. 67-68, 132, also citing Oliverio). However, Fraser-Matthews, 1987 (probably upon J.M. Reynolds’ opinion) gives IV/III as date for all names, except that of l. 1. One argument against a higher date could be the non-dialectal endings –ου at ll. 2, 3 and 13, but O in both copies might also be misread for Ω. Dobias-Lalou, 2016 , pp. 251-252 gives some arguments against the mentioned identification of Sthenon and suggests with caution that this might be a list of priests.

Names Βίμβων (l. 3) and Πάταλλος (l. 8), which are read by both travellers, are not known elsewhere.

At l. 13 a Libyan name Εχθαπαν is a conjectural reading justified by Dobias-Lalou at Dobias-Lalou, 2000 , p. 60.

At l. 17, it seems possible to suspect a Libyan name behind the mysterious Χιραυρα, but no parallel exists up to now.
