Apparatus

Translation

Year 137, 3rd of the month of Hathyr: So[damos] son of Aristodamos died aged 25 years.

Commentary

The dead man is probably identical with the Sodamus in M.148, lines 3-4, given the close similarity of decoration and letter forms (especially the distinctive omega, which may be a reminiscence of Hebrew lettering) on the two stelae.
