Commentary

Possibly the same man as in IGCyr078000², which was found in the forecourt of the next tomb to the North.

As SEG, 37.1677, points out, both drawings show ΑΓΗΣΑΡΧΩ and the photograph here published for the first time does not help because of some bushes hiding the end of the name; anyway, we prefer to follow Reynolds' transcription.
