ΕΙΣΘΕΟΟΒΟΗ + ΘΟΝΗΛΙΑ Α ΙΤΩΚΤΗΓΑΝΗ

εἷς θεὸς ὁ βοηθῶν Ἡλιαδώρᾳ ιτωκτηγανη

(There is) one God who helps Heliadora...

εἷς θεὸς ὁ βοηθῶν Ἡλιαδώρᾳ ιτωκτηγανη

The columns of this inscription are read horizontally. The opening "(There is) one God who helps" is a Christian formula common throughout the region and era. The rest of this deeply pocked inscription is largely illegible. The name Heliadora may appear in the accusative case (as opposed to the dative represented here). Dimensions refer to entire remainder of stone.
