Support
Eight fragments of a marble stele (fr. a and b pasted together): fragment a + b: broken above and below and badly chipped off at left edge (0.6; 0.628;0.18); fragment c: broken off above, below and on the right (0.35; 0.395;0.175-0.18); fragment d: broken on all sides, with vestiges of sides i and ii (0.3; 0.135;0.182); fragment e: broken at right and left, above and below, might belong to anyone of both inscribed sides (0.15; 0.16;0.16); fragment f: broken on all sides but at right, might belong to anyone of both inscribed sides (0.034; 0.044;0.023); fragment g: broken on all sides, might belong to anyone of both inscribed sides (0.06; 0.025;0.045); fragment h: broken on all sides, might belong to anyone of both inscribed sides 0.072; 0.043;0.046).
Layout
Inscribed on front face (main fragment a+b), one entry per line, and on left side (main fragment c), one entry on two lines; in some cases, guidelines still visible.

In matter of support, display and content this inscription is very similar to IGCyr109300, which is explicitely a list of priests, probably eponymous ones. For the present list, it has still to be proven, as none of the persons recorded here does correspond to a man explicitely mentioned as priest of Apollo elsewhere.
Some personal names might be restored with more of less certainty from the stock of names attested at Cyrene. Hereafter are some restorations proposed by C. Dobias-Lalou from the photographs : at i.a.5 [Με]νάλκηςseems plausible, although this name is not yet attested in Cyrenaica, whereas Ἀλκαμένης is already known.
For i.a.6 [Σθέ]νων is the only name fitting the gap before -νων and attested in the region.
At i.a.11 we should probably restore [Εὔιπ]πος.
At i.a.13 a compound in -είδης is the only possibility in agreement with the local dialect.
At i.a.14 [Ἀριστώ]νυμος seems a good guess.
At i.c.1 the father's name should be [Βαθ]υκλεῦς.
At ii.a.6 a father's name [Κοττ]άβω would fit the gap with the rare name also attested as father's name of a contributor named Ariston about 280 B.C. (IGCyr065200, b.18). -βωλος with first element ending with α seems to be known.
At ii.a.12 [Πο]λυχά[ρμω] seems a good guess. Although not yet attested in Cyrenaica it is a common Rhodian name.
At ii.a.15-16 the father's name should be [Μ]ν̣άσιος, whereas the son's name might be either Μνᾶσις or Μνασέας.
At e.2 a space before the first preserved letters induces to suggest the Libyan name Ελι[καν].
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 argued that this liste might belong to the same ensemble as IGCyr109200. Without a new study of the stones, this should remain hypothetical.
In a PhD thesis discussed at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa in December 2016, E. Rosamilia presented the results of a new study of the stone with some interesting improvements. Until the planned publication, the present edition should be taken as provisional.
