Nestor, for Nais his mother, in memoriam.

For the name Nestor in Lykaonia, see the commentary to MAMA XI 327 (1956/183: Perta). For the Greek name Naïs (Robert 1963: 234; Zgusta 1964: 345n.9) at Laodikeia, cf. perhaps MAMA VII 66 (Köşmer); the name is also found at Komana (Harper 1972: 231, no. 5.70).
