Such lists of name were often cut on large steles with the broad face used first bearing on each line name and father's name. As IGCyr129000 is consistent with their usual depth, we suppose that the same layout was displayed here. However the span of time separating the inscriptions on both sides seems to be larger than on other similar items, so the parallel is perhaps illusory.
At line 1, although the letters are much damaged, it seems possible to read the rare name Χαῦλος, already attested at IGCyr081200.
The vestiges at lines 2 and 3 allow several possibilities of restoration for each name.
