Commentary

We consider this base as funerary with two arguments: 1. In Pacho's time bases were to be seen mainly in the necropoleis; 2. this type of base is more usual for epitaphs that for honors.

The woman's name Ἁρπαλέα has the koine and not the dialectal form of its second element, which would be -λᾶ.
