Nasaath, wife (or daughter) of Elexandar. Seventy years old.
Tombstone, inscription complete. The tombstone was found in Fakhem, but was in secondary use as construction material. It is unclear whether it originated there, or was moved to the site for construction when the city began flourishing in the twentieth century. If the latter scenario is the case, it is possible that the tombstone originated in Farj, a rich antique site lying 1 km south-east. There is no trace of an expected initial θάρσι. The name Νασααθ corresponds to Νασεαθ. The translation proposed here would seem to require the genitive (Ἀ)λεξανδρ(ου). It is possible that the last two letters in line 3 were reversed, which would yield the simple translation of Nasaath Elexandra. Peculiarities in the inscription are the differently shaped alphas and the spelling of Elexandar.
