Greek Text

καὶ νεανίσκος ὀρθὸς οὐκ ἔχων πω γένειά ἐστι χιτῶνα ἐνδεδυκὼς καὶ χλαμύδα ἐπὶ τῷ χιτῶνι φοινικῆν· παρὰ δὲ αὐτὸν οἰκέτης ἀκόντια ἔχων ἐστὶ καὶ ἄγει κύνας ἐπιτηδείας θηρεύουσιν ἀνθρώποις. πυθέσθαι μὲν δὴ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν οὐκ εἴχομεν· ταφῆναι δὲ ἄνδρα καὶ γυναῖκα ἐν κοινῷ παρίστατο ἅπασιν εἰκάζειν.

English Translation

There is also an upright figure of a youth, still beardless, who wears a tunic and over it a crimson cloak. Beside him stands a servant carrying hunting spears and leading dogs suitable for men's hunting pursuits. We were not able to discover their names, but it appeared clear to everyone that a man and a woman were buried together in a common tomb.
