[1] This small relief stele was purchased by the British Museum in 1907 from the dealer William Talbot Ready. It depicts Stratios, a standing youth, looking mournfully downwards, his left hand covered by a himation and his right holding a bird, a common funerary symbol for the soul (cf. AIUK 4.6, no. 16). The lower missing portion of the relief may have included a companion dog. For more detailed discussion of the inscription see AIUK 4.6 (BM, Funerary Monuments), no. 25.
