介绍（中）	这个墓碑是为了纪念一名士兵，他面朝右，手持长矛。他的小腿被护胫保护着。下图中的场景显示，一名战士骑上一辆四马战车，而他的战车手则握着缰绳。这种车辆是公元前两千年的迈锡尼希腊人使用的，荷马在《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》中都有描述。到了古代时期，四方煤气已不再用于日常生活。然而，他们是在比赛中驾驶的，因为希腊奥运会上最负盛名的项目是战车比赛。这一幕可能是为了回忆死者在阿波巴特斯赛马中的胜利，在那场比赛中，一名武装跑步者跳上跳下了战车，也可能是为了通过描绘一位前往特洛伊战争的传奇英雄来唤起家族的贵族血统。面板雕刻成极低的浮雕；许多平面最初是用红色和黑色油漆区分的。大型人物的格里夫斯和长矛被漆成了蓝色；背景是红色。红色、蓝色、黑色和绿色的痕迹保留在装饰竖井边界的交错曲线上。
介绍（英）	This grave marker commemorated a soldier, who was shown facing right, holding a spear. His lower legs, protected by greaves (shin guards), are preserved. The scene in the panel below shows a warrior mounting a quadriga (four-horse chariot), while his charioteer holds the reins. Such vehicles were used by the Mycenaean Greeks of the second millennium B.C. and are described by Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey. By the Archaic period, quadrigas were no longer used in daily life. They were driven in competition, however, for the most prestigious events at Greek games were chariot races. This scene may have been intended to recall a victory of the deceased in the apobates race in which an armed runner jumped on and off a chariot, or it may evoke the family's aristocratic lineage by depicting a legendary hero departing for the Trojan War. The panel is carved in extremely low relief; the many planes were originally differentiated with red and black paint. The greaves and spear of the large-scale figure were painted blue; the background was red. Traces of red, blue, black, and green remain on the interlaced curved lines that decorate the border of the shaft.
