hi, grave stele I\'ll be glad if readers.

Quote:However ???????? may show a genitive form

It could. This is why my first hunch was that she was the commissioner of the stele.

This epitaph (IMT LApollon/Milet 2219) also resembles the one we are talking about in terms of logic and grammar.

??????? ??????? ??? ??????????
? ???????????? ???? ?? ???? ??????????
??? ??????????
?????? ?????.


gen + nom

(the omission of the "?" in "??????(?)? is a mistake on the stele)

Translation more probably points at "Piloridi" being the deseased. My only problem is the prominence of the name of Nikeforos on the stele.

A more detailed image of the stele as well as information on whether its lower part also survived and what it depicted (if anything) would be great help...
