Published by Pugliese Carratelli from †Oliverio's papers without photograph.From other identified inscriptions, the sketchbook number seems to be that of year 1926.
The lines were inscribed each at a time in a relatively short span of time. Two of them (ll. 2 and 3) are known as priests of Apollo for years about 335 B.C. It may be inferred that the whole list was a list of eponymous priests, as briefly suggested by Laronde, 1987 Laronde, A., 1987, Cyrène et la Libye hellénistique.
