ΘΑΡΣΙ ΝΑΤΩΝΙΝΕ Ι ΚΕ

θάρσι ΝατωνῖνεἈντωνῖνε ιἐτῶν κε

Be of good courage, Antoninos! Twenty-five years old.

θάρσι ΝατωνῖνεἈντωνῖνε ιἐτῶν κε

This is a complete tombstone inscription. The standard Greek opening "Be of good courage" is followed by the name and age of the deceased. The reading proposed in the transcription reverses the order of the first two letters of line 2; the apparent iota between name and age at the beginning of line 3 is suggested to be an abbreviation. Dimensions given are for entire stone.
