"Many breeds of beasts I slaughtered, I fed greedy Fortune with murders, and I met many cities of the Underworld. I returned home in a bitter state with a heavy share of fortune and inevitable death. I managed to see my parents, friends and relatives. And now, I, Tillovoros, am buried in my beloved fatherland. The wife of Tillovoros Markiani built this tomb in memory of her husband"
A tombstone from the archeological museum of Veria, Hellas. Dated in 2nd century AD.
