Παριγοριου καὶ Κύρας τῆς τῆς ἐς τὸν Βόλον συνγενικῆς τοῦ Λυσᾶ Εἰοπιτῶν

(Grave/tomb) of Paregorios and Kyra, of the family called "?" of Lysas, from Jaffa.

This inscription bears two names, a man and a woman who may have been a couple. It is unclear whether lines 2-3 refer to both Paregorios and Kyra, or only to Kyra. It is possible to interpret line 2 as "of the family of fisherman" (Schwabe) but the locution in itself seems to be odd.
