Anaxiléa fille d'Euphranôr.
Anaxilea daughter of Euphranor.
Anaxilea figlia di Euphranor.
The same father's name Euphranor can be read on another base from the same tomb (IGCyr085000), the lettering of which is undoubtedly later. There might be a span of one or two generations between both Euphranor and thus between Anaxilea and Arthmiadas.
