Commentary

The Thorns only give a description of the place and a diplomatic transcription of the preserved letters, with a suggestion about the date.

Names cut on sarcophagi are either at the nominative case, as a caption, or at the genitive, as owner's marks. So we might also have here a genitive, which would not be dialectal, ending in -ου.
