Popis: An inscribed funerary stele probably from Miletoupolis has been recently published by E. Laflı and M.E. Uyar (Laflı – Uyar 2021, 77-79 no. 2). This short note offers a revision of the inscription from the published photograph as well as a brief commentary. The inscription is identified as a pair of elegiac distichs containing a funerary imprecation against any desecrator of the stele. While this curse echoes known formulae, it also contains a few distinct phrasings (including one new compound verb).
