Eutyches son of Alexandros and my daughter A[...], we set this up for ourselves, in memoriam.

The restorations are not quite certain, but it is hard to see how else to reconstruct the text. For a similar structure, compare e.g. MAMA VII 81 (Laodikeia: Kındıras), Αὐρ. Παῦλος Ἀντωνίου κὲ Αἰλία Φροντῖνα Οὐρανίου πρεσβυτέρου σύνβιός μου ἀνεστήσαμεν ἑαυτοῖς ζῶντες μνήμη[ς] χάριν.
