Translations

Good Fortune to Hesychios in God; increase his life (?livelihood) in all circumstances.

Good Fortune to Hesychios! in God may he flourish throughout his life!

One of a group of inscriptions concerned with the prosperity of a Christian family and its hope of God's help· C.67, C.68, C.69, C.70, C.71, C.72, C.73.

C.66 and C.67, in the corridor to which there is entry from the street, are likely to refer to the owner and his wife; the Hesychios of C.66 may recur in C.69, more probably in C.70 as Hesychios the Libyarch; the other persons are perhaps his daughters, daughters-in-law and granddaughters.

The Hesychii are certainly connected with the homonym(s) in C.43, C.65, C.74 and C.749. Hesychios the Libyarch (presumably president of the provincial council) should not be identified with a friend and correspondent of Synesius (PLRE II, Hesychios 5).
