ΘΑΡΣΙ ΑΓΑΘΗ ΕΤ Ι

θάρσι Ἀγάθη ἐτῶν ι´

Be of good courage, Agathe! Ten years old.

θάρσι Ἀγάθη ἐτῶν ι´

This is a complete tombstone inscription, with the standard Greek opening "Be of good courage" followed by the name and age of the deceased. Τhe inscription is worn but complete; while the last two letters of the second line are not certain, the name Αγάθη is well attested and can be assumed here. Dimensions given are for entire stone, not area of inscription.
