Commentary
Those poor rests cannot be interpreted. However the segment which should be the participle γεγραμμέν[ος] at any case and gender is a hint for a reference to some public decision being copied or transcribed or to a royal letter being sent to the Cyrenaeans.
Because of the gap, it cannot be decided whether IGCyr062850 is another part of the same document.
