Commentary

For a complete formulation of such documents, which helps to restore this fragment, see e.g. IGCyr015200 and for the vocabulary Dobias-Lalou, 2000 Dobias-Lalou, C., 2000, Le dialecte des inscriptions grecques de Cyrène, Karthago25, Paris - see in bibliography , pp. 242-243.

For the father's name at line 4, the only name having a sequence εω, plus 3 letters at the genitive seems to be the already attested Neon.
