This incomplete inscription is likely to be the remainder of a tombstone epitaph. While there is no conclusive evidence, this stone's incised lines are similar to those of other gravestones found in El-Al, and the last line can be read with ξ as a numeral, in line with the standard Greek epitaph containing the opening formula "Be of good courage" followed by name of the deceased and ending with his/her age. Dimensions given refer to the entire remainder of the stone.
