Commentary
At line 1, the restoration [Ἁγή]σανδρος is based on IGCyr010800, l. 80.
The present dedication is clearly made by an distinguished man; both inscriptions seem to have been inscribed within a short span of time; both names have distinctive features of Cyrenaean onomastics and are rare enough to allow a connection between them.
