I, Aurelius Eutychos, son of Paulus, set this up along with my sweetest wife Thekla, and for myself, while still living, in memoriam.
Commentary
The phraseology of this inscription is somewhat awkward; the author seems to have hesitated between setting up the stele ‘for’ and ‘with’ his wife Thekla.
