ΑΡΘΟΝΗ ΤΛΗ

θάρσει Μαρθόνη ἐττῶν λ´η´

[Be of good courage] Marthone(?)! Thirty-eight years old.

θάρσει Μαρθόνη ἐττῶν λ´η´

This is an incomplete tombstone inscription. The upper and left portions of the stone are missing. We assume the standard Greek opening "Be of good courage"; as usual it is followed by the name and age of the deceased. The first letter of the name could be Μ as feminine names in Μαρθ- are fairly common. Dimensions given are for the entire remainder of the tombstone.
