Commentary
This list of names, written in different hands, is very much alike IGCyr109300 and IGCyr115000, the former explicitely listing priests of Apollo, as argued by Dobias-Lalou, 2010 Dobias-Lalou, C., 2010, Sur quelques noms nouveaux de Cyrénaïque, in R.W.V. Catling, F. Marchand (eds.), Onomatologos: studies in Greek personal names presented to Elaine Matthews, Oxford, 92-101 - see in bibliography , p. 97.
Although Laronde, 1987 Laronde, A., 1987, Cyrène et la Libye hellénistique. Libykai historiai de l’époque républicaine au principat d’Auguste, Paris - see in bibliography , p. 190, discussing Stucchi, 1975 Stucchi, S., 1975, Architettura cirenaica, Monografie di Archeologia libica9, Roma - see in bibliography , p. 113, n. 6, dates the lettering of second or first century B.C., it seems to be somewhat earlier. So the problem of the Elaiitas family has to be reconsidered in relation with IGCyr102000 and IGCyr080500. The man mentioned at line 6 might be the priest of IGCyr013400.
