Summary/Abstract: The funerary inscription is written in Doric dialect, suggesting it came to Bucharest from Callatis (present-day Mangalia, Constanța County). The two remarkable elements are the names Khoiros and Simoleon; as far as we know, for the first there is only one other mention as a woman's name and the second is mentioned here for the first time in the Greek world.
