[Monogram cross.] To her good memory. Demetria, daughter of Stephanus, the guardian of this place. She lived in peace for three years, six months and fourteen days, and died on the day of Mars in the month of March, in the eighth indiction.

The child died within two days of the two recorded in 839 and 843, evidently from some epidemic.
