Αἰ̣λ̣(ία) Νεικομήδη̣

Ael(ia) Neikomede constructed the resting-place for her husband Furius and herself. After they have been placed (in the tomb), it will not be permitted anyone to bury another; he will have to reckon with God.

On the term κοιμητήριον (line 3), see the commentary to MAMA XI 37 (1954/23). For the formula in lines 9-10, see the commentary to MAMA XI 36 (1954/14).
