A man and woman stand side by side within an architectural framework on this grave relief. The top of the stele forms an arch with carved decoration and akroteria at the top and on the sides; pilasters on either side have capitals decorated by leaves. A Greek inscription at the bottom of the stele provides their names, and those of their family members. It reads, `Theaitetos for his mother Tation. Demetrios and Tation for their sweetest child Tatianos in memory. May whoever lays a hand heavy with [envy] on this grave be struck by a similarly premature blow of fate.` |
