Farewell, good Phileinos, loving friends and loving mankind, missed by all, having harmed no one, living well, having lived unstintingly towards foreigners and locals for 31 years.The stone:
Φιλεῖνε ἀγαθὲ χαῖρε, φιλόφιλε καὶ φιλάνθρωπε, πᾶσιν ποθητέ, μηδένα λυπήσας, εὐβίωτε, ξένων καὶ ἐντοπίων ἀφθόνως ζήσας ἔτη λα′.
