Funerary monuments of this type were common on Cyprus from the Late Hellenistic through the Roman period. Each was engraved with a standard formula of farewell addressing directly the deceased in the vocative. Sometimes a comment is added, such as "no one is immortal." Here the inscription in Greek simply reads: "Good Olympianos, farewell." Above is a wreath decorated with pine cones and fruit that flank a plain circular disk on which a portrait of the deceased may have been painted.
