Description
Limestone funerary stone of the Byzantine Period, inscribed in Greek with a prayer on behalf of the owner, a woman named Makareia. The words echo the ancient Egyptian appeal to the living, addressed to those who pass by the tomb. At the centre lower margin stands the Coptic cross, derived from the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph reading 'ankh' 'life'. The stela was acquired at Armant, and probably comes from a fifth or sixth century cemetery in that area, when that town was an important bishopric.

Kalkstenen funeraire stèle uit de Byzantijnse Periode, in het Grieks beschreven met een gebed ten behoeve van de eigenares, een vrouw genaamd Makareia. De woorden doen denken aan de oud-Egyptische oproep tot de levenden, bedoeld voor diegenen die aan het graf voorbijgaan. In de onderste marge in het midden staat het Koptische kruis, dat is afgeleid van de oud-Egyptische hiëroglief voor 'anch' 'leven'. De stèle is aangekocht in Armant en is waarschijnlijk afkomstig uit een begraafplaats uit de 5e of 6e eeuw in dat gebied, toen deze stad een belangrijk bisdom was.
Pierre funéraire en calcaire datant de la Période Byzantine. Elle comporte une inscription grecque, une prière en faveur de la propriétaire, une femme nommée Makareia. Les termes employés rappellent ceux de 'l'appel au vivant' adressé à ceux qui passaient devant la tombe. En bas, au centre, figure la croix copte, qui dérive de l'ancien hiéroglyphe égyptien signifiant 'vie' (ankh). La stèle a été acquise à Armant et provient probablement d'un cimetière du 5ème ou du 6ème siècle, quand cette ville était un important évêché.
Totenstele aus Kalkstein aus Byzantischer Zeit, beschrieben mit einem Gebet in Griechisch zugunsten des Eigentümers, einer Frau namens Makareia. Die Worte lassen den altägyptischen Anruf an die Lebenden anklingen, der an diejenigen gerichtet war, die am Grab vorbeigehen. In der Mitte des Unteren Randes steht das koptische Kreuz, das von der altägyptischen Hieroglyphe abgeleitet ist, die 'ankh' - 'Leben' gelesen wird. Die Stele wurde in Armant erworben und stammt wahrscheinlich von einem in diesem Gebiet gelegenen Friedhof aus dem fünften oder sechten Jahrhundert, als die Stadt ein bedeutender Bischofssitz war.
Pietra funeraria in calcare del Periodo Bizantino, iscritta in greco con una preghiera a <!-->nome del proprietario, una donna di <!-->nome Makareia. Le parole richiamano l'antico appello egizio rivolto ai vivi, a coloro che passavano nelle vicinanze della tomba. Al centro del margine inferiore si scorge la croce copta, derivata dall'antico geroglifico egizio della 'vita', 'ankh'. La stele è stata acquistata ad Armant, e probabilmente proviene da un cimitero del quinto o del sesto secolo situato in quell'area, quando la città divenne un'importante sede vescovile.
Pedra funerária em calcário do Período Bizantino, inscrita em grego, com oração em prol da sua proprietária, mulher de <!-->nome Makareia. As palavras fazem menção ao antigo apelo egípcio aos vivos, dirigindo-se aos que passam perto do túmulo. Ao centro, na margem inferior, situa-se cruz copta, originária do antigo hieróglifo egípcio 'vida', lido 'ankh'. A estela foi adquirida em Armant e, provavelmente, originária de cemitério dos Séculos V ou VI nessa mesma área, altura em que a cidade era um importante bispado.
