Inscription:
For Menecrates, the son of Tlasias from Oiantheia, this monument was built by the people of Korkyra -- because he was ambassador and friend of the people of Korkyra, but he was lost at sea. Oiantheia fell into public mourning. Praximenes for this reason came from his fatherland to make an effort to raise this monument to his brother together with the people of Korkyra.
