Those are the names of magistrates:

ΞΕΝΩΝ (Xenon) and ΦΙΛΟΔΑΜΟΣ (Philodamos).

The combination of magistrates allows to date the coins a bit more precise. You can find a lot about it on the pages of Gyula Petrányi:

In the classification of Petrányi your coin belongs to class D5 and has been minted 57 BC:
