[ἐν]ταῦθ(α) κεῖτ(αι) τὸ λείμψανον stop Νικολά[.](ου)
|
Translation
Here lie the remains of Nicolaus.
Apparatus
The last letter was read by Kubitschek, but is
not now visible. As it was written above the line, and with an
apostrophe, it is presumably an abbreviation of Νικολά(ου) rather than Νικόλα read by Cormack.
