Description of Monument
A white marble funerary stele, cut in one piece, in the form of a pyramid surmounting a rectangular base (0.95 × 0.50 × 0.50); all four sides of the pyramid and of the base are cut as panels within moulding. The top of the pyramid is broken away, but there are traces of a hole which would have held an insertion at the apex.
Description of Text
Line 1 is inscribed on the front panel of the pyramid, lines 2-3 within the front panel of the base.
Description of Letters
0034.045; clear cut and irregular; apostrophes in lines 3 and 6.
The monument appears to be complete below; it must be assumed that it originally stood on another feature on which the last line of the epigram was inscribed.
l. 9, ΤΕΙΡΕΕΙ, corrected by Cormack and Robert.
