Notes
Inscription incomplete; apart from the word τύχη in line 1, this inscription cannot be translated. Conceivably the funerary farewell ἀγαθὴ τύχη was inscribed here, addressed to a person whose name began with the letters Aυ, and who was the son or daughter of Ἄβελος. Apparently another line or lines preceded these, and it is possible that the lines originally extended to the left.
