ΑΛΑΦ ΑΟΤΑ ΡΑΕΤΛ

Ἀλαφα Ὀταρα ἐτῶν λ´

Alapha, daughter of Otaras. Thirty years old.

Ἀλαφα Ὀταρα ἐτῶν λ´

The name Αλαφα is assumed despite the poor legibility of the first two letters. Οταρα is taken as the genitive singular of a masculine name Οταρας, but while Οταρα occurs in two of these Farj tombstones, the name is otherwise completely unattested. Both Αλαφα and the conjectured Οταρας may be Hellenized Semitic names. Dimensions refer to entire remainder of stone.
