ΛΟΥΙΑΜΑΡΙΝΟΥΕΤΩΝΛ

θάρσει Λουκία Μαρίνου ἐτῶν λʹ

[Be of good courage] Lucia(?), daughter of Marinus! Thirty years old.

θάρσει Λουκία Μαρίνου ἐτῶν λʹ

Tombstone, inscription incomplete. The only surviving record of this epitaph is an underexposed photograph, which makes the reading here very uncertain. A triangle is formed by an incised line and the peaked top of the stone, making the letters barely visible within. The characters at the beginning and end of line 1 are doubtful. We might expect a θάρσει to precede the transcription, but nothing this definite is readable. Μαρῖνος is a common name. The date of this inscription is impossible to fix, except that it and other artifacts in Kafr el-Ma conform to other Golan antiquities datable to the first six centuries CE.
