The dedicatory inscription seems to refer to a funerary monument erected by a certain Hedone for a loved one (probably her husband). It is a late inscription which justifies the use of the genitive and not the ablative for GENI FAVORIS (instead of GENII FAVORE). Hedone is a Greek name which, however, occurs in Italic sepulchral inscriptions. -
