Translation

T(itos) Phlabios T(itus) Flavius M[- . . . ] dedicated the little temple of the People of the most splendid Κyrene, the metropolis, from his own resources.

Commentary

The dowel hole at top served possibly as attachment of a crowning feature or of another block, but it is off-centre and may simply have held a cramp to fasten the stele to a wall.

Line 1: There may have been another title above so that the reference was to the Tyche of the city.

Line 4: An alternative, Κυρη[ναίων, would require an article for which there seems to be not enough space.

Line 6: ναΐ[σκον is also possible.
