(Be of good courage), Ul...! He(?) lived seven years.

θάρσει Ουλ ζησας ἔτη ζ

This is an incomplete tombstone inscription. Due to the very poor condition of the stone, the proposed translation is tentative, at least in line 3 where it differs from the standard opening formula of "Be of good courage" followed by name and age of the deceased. Dimensions given are for the entire remainder of the tombstone.
