Abstract
Re-edition of a twelfth-century epitaph in Greek (Turin, Museo Egizio, Cat. 7142), formerly attributed to a bishop of Faras in Nubia. In addition to presenting a new text, based on autopsy, the article discusses the ownership of the monument and advocates a new understanding of the linguistic and textual form of the epitaph.
