[of] Erotarion

Ἐρωταρίου

The ossuary has low feet. It is broken and a lid is missing. Ornamentation, on the front side, consists of two six-petalled rosettes each within zigzag circles. An inscription on the right side, read before 1900, is no longer extant. Erotarion is a female name. The first letter of the second line may be a ligature of tau, alpha(?) and rho; it is represented in the transcription as τρ.
