ΝΙΕΥ ΜΑ ΘΗΕ ΤΞΕ

νι Εὐμαθή ἐτῶν ξ´ε´

...Eumathe. Sixty-five years old.

νι Εὐμαθή ἐτῶν ξ´ε´

This incomplete inscription is likely to be the remainder of an epitaph. Damage at the top and upper right corner of the stone suggests that a line of writing there was lost. Its shape is that of a tombstone; however, the first two letters ΝΙ do not permit a reading of θάρσι, the standard opening to Greek epitaphs, which we would expect before the name and age of the deceased that constitute this inscription. Dimensions given refer to the entire remainder of the stone.
