The right-hand side of a fragmentary
The
To the spirits of the dead. To Euphemus [who lived] 90 [years]---.
The whole text is centred, but without the D in line 1 it is not possible to estimate the total line length. In line 2, it is likely that we are lacking the praenomen and nomen of the deceased. In line 3, at least some statement of years lived might be expected. The name of a dedicator may be missing from the end of the inscription. A small triangular interpunct is visible in line 3, indicating that another word preceded what now remains. The claim to have lived for 90 years is typical of the tendency towards age-rounding commonly found in epitaphs (cf. Hopkins 1966).
