μνημεῖον [...] Νικαϲία ἐτελεύτηϲεν ἐτῶν

Translation

Tomb [of . ? . . child of ] Nikasias, who died [aged ?]

Commentary

The central projection possibly represents a rudimentary head, cf. the series from Lamluda .

Line 1: the gap probably contained the name of the deceased, with Nikasia the genitive of a patronymic, Nikasias, (as suggested by Dobias-Lalou). Alternatively the gap might have contained the nomen of a woman, Nikasia.
