...ano(?)! Thirty years old.

ανο ἐτῶν λ´

This is an incomplete tombstone inscription. Only the age in line 2 is readable, due to damage to the upper part of the stone; one can assume, however, that it was a standard epitaph opening with the Greek formula "Be of good courage" and followed by the name (of which a fragment seems to remain) and age (intact) of the deceased. Dimensions given are for the entire remainder of the tombstone.
