Ζόῃ

χάριν.
For Zoe, my sweetest daughter, Mouses, her own father, inscribes this, in memoriam.
I assume that the name Μουσης (line 4) is an indigenous name from the stem Μουσ-, instances of which are concentrated in Phrygia Paroreios and Isauria: see Zgusta 1964: 337-8 §988; MAMA I 361 (Μου̣σ̣ης: Çeşmelisebil); IJO II, p.490 n.30. See, however, the commentary to MAMA XI 349 (1956/195: Savatra).
