Κλέωνος

Tombe de Kléôn.

Tomb of Kleon.

Tomba di Kleon.

Cassels in his 1955 publication only mentioned the presence of inscriptions. From his archive, the Thorns were able to recover a copy and a large scale photograph, which does not help much. They also were able to check the layout and reading of this inscription and of two others from the same tomb (see IGCyr122500 and IGCyr122700).

Names of deceased persons are usually inscribed at the nominative on the tombs. In this case it is possible that Kleon is a father's name whereas the own name of the dead would be lost (like at IGCyr122500). However Thorn does not mention any loss, so we follow his diplomatic transcription. IGCyr122700 from the same tomb seems to have also only a genitive.
