This puzzling fragment does not allow any serious restoration. The ending might grammatically belong either to the singular dative or to the plural nominative of the first nominal inflexion. In the first case, a man's or woman's name, respectively in -κρίτας or -κρίτα, would be very strange in a monumental inscription. For the second case, we may imagine an office-name mentioned as a title, but no such name is attested hitherto in Cyrenaica with that ending. Non liquet .
