ὁ δῆμος Μηνοφίλαν Ἑρμαγένου

Below the niche a longer inscription reads:

κομψὰν̣ καὶ χαρίεσσα πέτρος δείκνυσι· τίς ἐντιμουσῶν̣ μανύει γράμματα, Μηνοφίλαν.τεῦ δ’ ἕν̣εκ’ ἐν στάλα γλυπτὸν κρίνον ἠδὲ καὶ ἄλφαβύβλος καὶ τάλαρος τοῖς δ’ ἔ(π)ι 
καὶ στέφανος; -- ἡ σοφία̣ μὲν βίβλος, ὁ δ’ αὖ περὶ κρατὶ φορηθεὶςἀρχὰν̣ μανύει, μουνογόναν δὲ τὸ ἕν,εὐτά̣κτου δ’ ἀρετᾶς τάλαρος μάνυμα, τὸ δ’ ἄνθοςτὰν ἀ̣κμὰν δαίμων ἅ̣ντιν’ ἐληΐσατο. -- κού[φ]α τοι κόνις εἰμί· πολ̣λοὶ τοιῆδε θανούση,ἇ γά[μ]οι οὐδὲ γονεῖς, τοῖς ἔλιπες δάκρυα.

The People (honored) Menophila, daughter of Hermagenes

That she is fair the very beauty of the stone declares; who she is the verses indicate: Menophila. -- "Why are there carved on the stele a lily and an A, a Book, a Basket and besides these a Wreath?" -- "Wisdom is the Book, the Wreath worn about the head signifies public office and the number One an only child; well ordered virtue doth the Basket betoken and the Flower that bloom which fate filched away." -- Lightly lying earth am I; for the death of such an one as thou, without husband or parents, many there are to whom thou hast left tears.
