Commentary
It is not easy to interpret those inscriptions which are, as Buzaian and Lloyd say, roughly cut and heavily weathered. They speak of abbreviated personal names and seem to consider that those are three in number. However, to judge from the drawing, the bad alignment between ΑΛΕΞΙ and ΑΡΙΣΤ and the placement of ΑΜΟΣ are in favour of Pleket's assumption (SEG) that Ἀλεξίδαμος should be read on two lines at left, presumably corresponding to the left hand tomb (L83), whereas ΑΡΙΣΤ would be related to the right hand tomb (L87). However, the punctuation before the latter is rather puzzling: is it an awkawrdly placed separation between two areas or might they rather be some holes for fixation?
