Commentary

Gasperini already suspected that both fragments might belong to the same list and suggested that a ( Gasperini, 1965 , n. 2; Gasperini, 1967 , n. 18) might have been inscribed some years earlier than b ( Gasperini, 1965 , n. 1; Gasperini, 1967 , n. 19). In 1965 he had supposed that this might be a list of priests, but in 1967 he changed his mind because of what seemed to him the mention of a date given by an eponymous priest at b.7. C. Dobias-Lalou, helped by the excellent photographs, now suggests a new reading of that line. The hypothesis of a unique list of priests with names cut successively at different times is thus reinforced and we now present both fragments together.

About the date, Gasperini has some inconsistency (perhaps due to a misprint). At Gasperini, 1965 he gave III century B.C., whereas at Gasperini, 1967 he gave II-I B.C. C. Dobias-Lalou agrees with J.M. Reynolds who, advising Fraser-Matthews, 1987 about the different names, proposed II B.C.

At b.3 both Φίλω[νος] and Φιλώ[τα] are plausible restorations.

At b.6, from the photograph, C. Dobias-Lalou sees the summit of the apex of a lambda, which allows for a compound in -θάλης. A common name in Cyrenaica is [Φιλοθά]λ̣ης which would fit the gap perfectly.
