Greek Inscription, 3rd century BC. Additional Info: This inscribed stone slab is rectangular in shape and deep red-brown in color. White and black veins run through the stone, and the white is concentrated in the center. The edges of the stone are broken. The inscription, which records a funerary poem for Origenes, was cut in (at least) two columns. Most of the left column is preserved, but a large part of the right one is missing at the break.
