Text Θεμισώ Ἐτέαρχος
Apparatus

Θεμίσων

Ἐτεάρχω alternatively suggested Θεμισω sic

Themisô. Étéarkhos.

Themiso. Etearchos.

Themisò. Etearchos.

Commentary

Θεμισω may be read either as a complete feminine name Θεμισώ, as in the text and translations above, or as an uncomplete masculine Θεμίσω ν (Themison), the latter being plausible, as the name at line 2 is itself abbreviated, like both names in IGCyr078500.

The second name is probably the common Ἐτέαρχος at the nominative, like in all other occurrences in this tomb. And, generally speaking, the genitive is rare in such mentions cut above the entrances to loculi.
