736. Relief with banquet. Three elderly male figures recline on a long couch, wearing diadems and holding large bowls in their left hands. Before them is a table with two large pomegranates and a basket of fruit. At each end of the couch is a seated woman. The head is lost of the woman on the left. At the left angle in low relief is a diminutive figure of a girl, with a basket (calathos); at the right angle is a diminutive figure of a boy, with a crater. The relief is bounded by pilasters and an entablature. Below is the hull of a vessel in low relief, and the metrical epitaph of Dionysodoros, son of Pytheas.
Διονυσοδώρου τοῦ Πυθέου.
α. Διονυσόδωρε, χαῖρε· β. καὶ σύ γε, ὦ φίλε,
τὸ νῦν ἔχ[ον γ]είνωσκέ με ὧδε κείμενον,
καλὸν καὶ ἀγαθὸν καὶ καλῶς ἐζωκότα,
Λ]ιμναγενῆ γεγονότα, πᾶσι προσφιλ[ῆ].
