commentary
It is very unclear what might have been originally on the stone that is rendered by the printed transcription of Amico for lines 4 to 5. It seems very possible that lines 4-5 were originally a Greek element subsequent to the core latin epitaph (and the end of line 5 in particular looks like a Greek ending, with lunate sigma); but other interpretations are possible, and it may have been a second name or other addition in Latin.
