Edition ἡ σορός ἐστιν Μάρκου Αὐρηλιου Ἀντιόχου τοῦ εισα ω λ
Translation

The sarcophagus belongs to Marcus Aurelius Antiochus the son of Eis[- ... (perhaps Eisagoras)

Commentary

Probably one of the shorter type texts; but the owner, although apparently possessing only the sarcophagus, gave his Roman name in full and cited at least his father's name in the Greek manner, suggesting a date not too long after the Edict of Caracalla in A.D. 212.
