This fragment is probably the end of a list of names, which were plausibly followed by the fathers' names.
A very faint angular trace at the end of line 2 shows that the last letter was a sigma, leading to read a nominative and helping to date the lettering.
Whereas Alkibios was already attested once at Cyrene, the name Boulias is new in the region and the vocalism ου in the first syllable shows a foreign influence, as opposed to dialectal ω.
