ΕΙΡΑΤΟϹϹΕΛΥΚ

Εἰρατος Σελευκίδος

Eiras of Sel[e]uc[ia]

The form Σελυκ could also be interpreted as an abbreviation for Σελ(ε)ύκ(ου). In this case, the text would read: "Eiras, daughter of Seleucus". However, since most ossuary inscriptions in Akeldama bear only one personal name, this reading seems less plausible.
