174. Epitaph of Theodocius

Description | Text | Translation | Images | Commentary | Location | History

Description

• Monument: Two joining fragments of a white marble slab (0.29 x 017 x 0.065), with upper and right edge partly surviving. The stone appears to have been cut down - rather than simply broken - to the left, so that it is difficult to know what length of lines to assume.
• Text: Inscribed across the centre of the face.
• Letters: Very rough and irregular; 0.02-0.025.
• Date: Sixth century or later (lettering).

Text [Font help][Conventions]

Translation

[...] rest, of Theodocius. Remember him, Lord. Help. Lord, and [...] him [...].
