The lettering at line 3, which is the last one on the stone, seems to be slightly larger than at the preceding lines. In the concluding formula, the two preserved letters form a plausible segment either of the name of the Cyrenaeans (Κυραναῖοι) or of the verb of dedication (ἀνέθηκαν). This is the only clue to the type of text that stood on this so fragmentary stone.
