In this list of names (of which only the end survives) each followed by the father's name (of which only the beginning survives), the first letters of all father's names are carefully aligned, so that they are visualized as two columns. Given the surviving width, is is very lausible that another similar list was cut besides, either to the left or to the right, forming two columns on the stone with the same layout as iat IGCyr015200.
This list is very much alike IGCyr103800, the support of which is thicker. As the present stone seems to have been recut, it is impossible to push the hypothesis forward. At least, both inscriptions seem to come from the same workshop.
Pugliese Carratelli, who published this stone from Oliverio's papers, thought that IGCyr094700 might belong to the same stone. C. Dobias-Lalou does not agree and thinks that the scripts are different and the latter inscription earlier.
This list might belong to the group of dedications by ephebes, as cautiously suggested by Dobias-Lalou, 2016 Dobias-Lalou, C., 2016, Le toponyme Ptolemaion dans les inscriptions de Cyrène: un essai de clarification, Revue des Études Grecques (REG)129, 39-61 - see in bibliography .
