Notes
This inscription is set within a dovetail frame, with a rosette within the dovetail. Only the left end of the lintel or slab remains. An abbreviation for a year or an age, in lettering different from the rest of the inscription, suggests that the stone was a funerary marker or memorial. The word καρτερ in the first line could be a name; Καρτερία is attested. Dimensions refer to entire remainder of stone.
