The inscription provides the date as the 25th of the month Gorpiaios in the year 322 according to the Era of the Province of Arabia, that is, September 12, 427 CE. The tombstone is one of about 700 discovered in Byzantine Zoora. The majority of the Greek tombstones from this location have been identified as Christian. The nearly rectangular stone is broken at the upper left and right corners and curved at the bottom. Its smoothed, inscribed surface is flaked off on the left and right sides and weathered in the upper left and middle sections. The engraved text, written predominantly in square script, is set within incised guide-lines. The text shows traces of red paint in lines seven and ten. The text is surrounded by an engraved, cross-shaped frame, which is itself surrounded by a square engraved frame. Decorative figures appear in the four empty corners created by these two frames. Two inward-facing peacocks are engraved in the upper corners, while two crosses with serifs are painted in the lower corners. An engraved, double outlined pediment appears on top of the square frame containing the text and these decorative figures. An outlined cross with serifs is inscribed within this pediment. Three right-facing angular motifs follow the age numeral in line five. In line ten, three right-facing angular motifs precede the month day numeral while another two follow. The weekday numeral in line twelve is decorated with a horizontal bar above it and two right-facing angular motifs following it. The text contains both spelling and grammatical errors. The name and gender of the deceased in uncertain due to the heavy weathering of the letters in lines two and five which has obscured the name and the gender of the participle. The reading of the patronymic is similarly speculative. If the reconstruction Ἀζίζου is correct, then it is the first attestation of this name at Ghor es-Safi.
