ΘΑΡΣΙ ΙΑ ΕΤΩΝ ΛΒ

θάρσιια ἐτῶν λ´β´

Be of good courage, ..ia (?)! Thirty-two years old.

θάρσι ια ἐτῶν λ´β´

This is a complete, though very worn, tombstone inscription, with the standard Greek opening "Be of good courage" followed by the name and age of the deceased. In the second line, the letters of the name are badly eroded; even the last two are not certain. Dimensions given are for entire stone, not area of inscription.
