- Woods adds that the inscription suggests the fragment came from a sarcophagus or soros, recording the names of the people for whom it was made, adding that the names are not Greek and that it has been suggested, with a minor adjustment of the characters [first letter made Π and an Ε added] would give an inscription which could be translated as 'In honour of the new worship'.
