ΓΑΙΣΚΥ ΡΙΛΛΟΥ ΕΤ´ ΛΕ

Γαίς Κυριλλου ἐτῶν λ´ε´

Gais, son of Kyrillos (Cyril). Thirty-five years old.

Γαίς Κυριλλου ἐτῶν λ´ε´

This inscription may have included the standard Greek epitaph opening θάπσει ("Be of good courage") before the first line here. The name Γαίς is a well-known variant of Γάϊος, although it is possible that here a dim line beneath the sigma indicates an abbreviation for the actual name Γάϊος. Dimensions refer to entire remainder of stone.
