Be of good courage, Mares! Forty years old.

θάρσι Μάρης μ´

The reading of this inscription is uncertain due to erosion of the stone. In particular, the eta of line 3 could be a mu, and the sigma could be an omicron. (The name Μαρμο, however, is not attested.) Line 2 might have contained an additional one or two letter(s). The mu in the fourth line indicating the age of the deceased, here assumed to be overlined, could actually be a pi. Dimensions refer to entire remainder of stone.
