beskrivelse:

Funerary stele from Nicomedia (modern İzmit) in Bithynia, white marble, ca. 120 BC. The inscription reads: Θράσων Διογένους τήνδε ἀνέστησεν στυλλεῖδαν υἱῶν β’ Δεξιφάνους ἐτῶν ε’ Ξράσοωνος ἐτῶν δ’ Ἑρμῆ θρέψαντος αὐτῶν ἐτῶν κε’ ἐν τῇ συμπτώσει τοῦ σεισμοῦ οὕτως αὐτὰ περιειλήφει / “Thrasōn, son of Diogenes, erected this funerary stele for his two sons, Dexiphanes, age 5, and Thrasōn, age 4, and for Hermēs, age 25, who brought them up. In the earthquake collapse, so did he hold them in his arms.”
