commentary

It appears that Kaibel reported the text from the two editions of Alessi; the stone has not been located since. Kaibel suggests lines 5-6 likely to be consolatory epithets (e.g. τύχης ... πεπρωμεν), rather than e.g. name of a male relative, and notes a suggestion of Willamowitz that the final part might have been in verse, and even the whole, if the age were a single syllable.
