This list laid out in two columns of small characters seems to be a list of ephebes. But it is too fragmentary to allow any certainty.
Brothers were probably mentioned successively: two sons of a Dionysios and possibly three sons of a man bearing a name such as Arimmas or the Libyan name Igisan (for the inflexion of such names see Dobias-Lalou, 1999 Dobias-Lalou, C., 1999, Anthroponymes grecs en -ΑΣ en Cyrénaïque, in C. Dobias-Lalou (ed.), Des dialectes grecs aux Lois de Gortyne, Études anciennes21, Nancy, 23-32 - see in bibliography ).
