Commentary

This account and the four others cut on the same stone are the most complete of a series that also includes IGCyr012000 to IGCyr013800, IGCyr014000 to IGCyr014600, IGCyr063900, IGCyr088100 to IGCyr088300, IGCyr094200, IGCyr107150.

See also IGCyr062810 and followings for a possible status of those fields under the Ptolemies.

The priest on duty in this list is also responsible for the building of the monumental fountain to the south of Apollo's temple (IGCyr110000) and mentioned in a fragmentary list of priests (IGCyr094800).

The date of discovery may be deduced from the reports of excavations now publised by Luni, 2014 Luni, M., 2014, Attività di Carlo Anti, Luigi Pernier e Gaspare Oliverio (1923-1938), in M. Luni (ed.), La scoperta di Cirene. Un secolo di scavi, 1913-2013, Monografie di archeologia libica37, Cirene Atene d'Africa8, Roma, 123-156 - see in bibliography , showing that the excavations in the then so-called temple of Demeter on the agora took place in 1929 and that there were no excavations in the area between that date and the first publication.
