Stone inscription
22.5” x 8.33” (57 cm x 22 cm)
.1 a-ri-si-to-ti-ma-se
1. a-ri-si-to*ti-ma-se | † ἄριστοτίμασι(ς) (aristotimasis) | † honoring the best, honoring the noblest
.1 ἄριστοτίμασι
- honoring the best, the noblest
Notes: Masson translates as Ἀριστοτίμας, which presumes an anthroponym rather than a generic reference. Cf. similar Greek compounds (e.g. ἀριστοπάλας (aristopalas) “the best of wrestlers”).
