ϲῆμα τόδε Ϲτεφάνοιο τὸν ἐν ζωοῖϲιν ἀκούειϲ
εὐϲεβίηϲ γεγαῶτα διάκτορον ἤπιον ἄνδρα
ἀκμὴν ἐϲ βιότοιο τὸν ἥρπαϲε λοίμιοϲ αἶϲα

This is the grave of Stephanos, whom you hear among the living to have been a servant of piety, a gentle man; in the prime of life the doom of disease snatched him away.

Dies ist das Grabmal des Stephanos, von dem du hörst, dass er - als er lebte - ein Diener der Frömmigkeit (= ein Diakonos) gewesen ist, ein freundlicher Mann, den ein verderbliches Geschick in der Blüte des Lebens hinweggerafft hat.
