Commentary

Cassels in his 1955 publication only gave a diplomatic transcription of the inscription on the stele, which should have stood on top of the rectangular built tomb and suggested a date. The Tomlinson archive, published by the Thorns in 2009, has a useful sketch.

In 1961, Beschi saw the stele amongst the ruins and unearthed a mourning half-figure (n. 24 of his catalogue) roughly contemporary.
