Description
This is a funerary stele of a young girl with a brief metric inscription. The inscription says:
"Young Myrto, the stranger, blames Fortune because she met her death in Cyprus far away from her birthplace, Aeolian Elaia".
In some places, one may note the sgraffito used on the stone as a guide for the script, which the craftsman did not follow in all parts.
The stele was discovered in Tamassos.
