Translation:
[·· ? ··] Chaireas, sophist, as Claudia Kallikrateia instructed.
Commentary:
L. Robert (Ant. Class. 1966, 395 n.2) suggests that this might be the end of a longer inscription, and that Chaireas may have had a fuller name. For a simple Chaireas he refers to 12.523, which was in fact seen by Sherard (CIG 2833, also on p.37 of 10101) near this inscription; this may suggest that this fragment is also funerary, and that both came from a family monument.
