C. H. Greenewalt, Jr. noted that at the top, the relief molding has painted egg and dart motif, yellow with black background. There are five lines of text in Lydian, with red preserved in some letters. Below the text is a sculptured scene showing a man reclining on a couch, at the left end of which sits a woman turned toward him. His left elbow is propped on a cushion, while his right hand resting upon his right knee holds some small object, perhaps a flower. His head is turned, facing outward. He wears a garment which comes behind the back over the I. arm and across the body in linear folds, reminiscent of Persian-Palmyrene garments. A cloak is draped in sharp-ridged folds across his legs. The incised strands of hair fall on the woman's shoulders. She is wrapped in a cloak which also goes around her r. arm. Apparently she, too, held some object. Her breasts are indicated.

Compared to the elaborate family scene in the pediment Cat. 18 (Figs. 72-74), the funerary meal is reduced to the two-figure formula and is close to some Hellenistic representations of which great numbers are known (Fıralı, Stelès, 18ff., pls. 8ff.; E. Pfuhl, Spätionische Plastik, 35ff., figs. 18-23, esp. 21). Unlike Hellenistic stelai, however, the group is not framed by architecture. The style is provincial and awkward, but it may reflect Near Eastern-Iranian connections in the linear fold renderings.

The following is from the German translation by R. Gusmani (letter Feb. 1972):

In the year 5 (under) Alexandros given (dãn ) (. . . . ). This grave chamber and this stele/ (belong to) Atrastas (the son) of Timles; from his expense (. . . . ) the heir himself dedicated (?)/ Now whosoever (this stele) protects and not damages/ to him/ Zeus is well disposed; but whoever damages this grave chamber or this stele, him Zeus will destroy.

"Local" marble.

Broken at bottom, below top of couch, front of top profile. Upper part of man's figure, face, I. hand, lower legs of woman, front of couch lost. Top element and finial probably missing.
