Funeral inscription for Agathe

Funerary inscription for Agathe. Round marble slab slightly damaged below. Back worked as a lid; it may be a reuse. The text is developed on nine lines, complete apart from the ends of lines 9 and 10. Chi-rho symbols are engraved to the left of line 2 and to the right of line 3 and a star is engraved in the center between lines 1 and 2. There is some crowding in the last two lines. The text is roughly centered on the disc and the crowding at the end of line 8 in particular suggests that the stone was cut in this circular shape before engraving.
