Sepulchral monument of Artipous. An old woman is seated wrapped in her
mantle, with a pomegranate in her left hand. A girl stands at her
left side holding a box and a purse (?). The relief is bounded by
pilasters, surmounted by a pediment with acroteria.
Inscribed: [Greek: Artipous Alkima] and [symbol: L][Greek: p].
[symbol: L] is a symbol, chiefly used in Ptolemaic inscriptions to
precede a numeral denoting a year. The inscription therefore
appears to mean '80 years old,' if [Greek: p] is given its usual
value.--_Kertch._
