Commentary

b, line 2: Μ is rather smaller than the letters that follow, suggesting that the cutter has left space for a superscript bar above it and therefore that it stands for M(ᾶρκος). After ΙΟΥ, and apart from Π in line 3, the condition of the stone suggests that nothing was ever inscribed until modern times - in fact that this is an abandoned text.
