Θάρσι, Ὀμμοσεείδη σ ὀδὶς ἀθάνατος

Courage, Umm Sa'id, no one is immortal

Θάρσι, Ὀμμοσεείδη σ ὀδὶς ἀθάνατος

The last letter on the last line of the inscription might not be a letter. The editor thinks that the use of the common formulae "Courage" and "no one is immortal" marks tombstones in this group as pre-Christian. "Umm Sa'id" in the inscription means "Mother of Sa'id".
