Pedimented stele with a rosette on the top. Theudoros, dressed in a short-sleeved chiton (dress) and a richly folded himation (mantle) and closed shoes, sits on an elaborately carved cushioned stool, resting his feet on a footstool. He reads from an open bookroll. The large ochre-coloured chest beside him, could have contained bookrolls. The VIL image allows us to better appreciate the details of the composition.
