Wow, the lettering and details engraved in the stone are in really good condition! Especially if they date to the Roman period. If you don't get a translation on TreasureNet, maybe try an on-line translator.

Not all of the letters are clear and it’s difficult to be sure where the word breaks are. The latter makes it very difficult to read since if you put a break in the wrong place you can get very different meanings.

As far as I can tell, the first line begins something like ΕΠΑΦΡΟΛΕΙ ΤΟΣΙ ΑΙΤΕΙΜΟΘΕΑ which roughly translates as “supports so many requirements” in the sense of someone being a generous benefactor or provider.

The last word at the bottom appears to be ΧΑΙΡΕ, which can mean “rejoice”, but in the spiritual context of a burial translates as “farewell”. On the line before that there appear to be the words ΣΥΝΤΡΟ (partner), then something unclear, then ΑΡΤΕΜΑΣ (which is a Greek male name) and then ΓΥΝΑΙΡΙ (woman).

Maybe this is the grave marker of the wife of someone called Artemas, or his own grave with a tribute from his wife.
