Iota (l. 2): three curvilinear bars. Lambda (l. 2): apex at the top, oblique strokes of the same lenght. Rho (l. 1): angular bowl. San (ll. 1-2): used for the sibilant sound. Theta (l. 1): circle with cross-shaped bars inside.

Line 1-2 Interlineation line 1 to 2 At 20 cm below line 2, a ship is drawn with a total height of 30 cm (the hull measuring 10 cm). Beneath the hull, traces of letters can be seen, though they are undecipherable. At 10 cm from the upper edge of the rock surface, there is a 20x20 cm drawing consisting of two overlapping rectangles. The lower rectangle contains three internal bars, while the upper one is rather damaged inside. This could represent another depiction of the dokanon (cf. IThera001).

Θαρῆς Ἁγασικλῆς
Hiller: Θαρρῆς Ἁγασικλῆς

The name Ἀγασικλῆς is attested on the island in two other cases besides this one (no. 399 from the 4th century BCE and no. 1549, 7 from the Imperial period). In Cyrene, it has four attestations (from the 5th, 4th, and 3rd centuries BCE) and is generally well attested in Greece. However, this occurrence is the earliest attestation of the name. The island also features other examples of names composed with the first element Θαρρ- (cf. nos. 544, 763, 787).
