According to ed. pr., the writing of the text, inscribed in the stone and then painted in red, shows the characteristic features of Constantinian time.\r\nThe text reads: \"Plouti&ocirc;n, the blessed virgin (parthenos), having suffered martyrium in the year 19, fell asleep at the age of 41; he went to the land of the blessed having received two crowns. Similarly, Berek&ocirc;n [=Verecundus] the chaste (egkrates), having suffered martyrium, fell asleep at the age of 37. Likewise his son Konon, disciple of the virgins (mathetes parthen&ocirc;n)\".\r\nInitial crux ansata.\r\nThe mention of \"year 19\" refers to the era of Diocletian (the 19th year = 302\/303 A.D., the first year of Diocletian&rsquo;s persecution of the Christians in Egypt). According to \u0141ajtar and Wipszycka 1999, this epitaph was meant to commemorate real martyrs but was placed on their tomb later &ndash; rather than during the time of persecution (see below, \"Dating criteria\") &ndash; especially as the specific date of their death is not mentioned and was probably forgotten by that time.\r\nLater martyrological literature suggests that the two wreaths are a double reward, for martyrdom and for chastity. See also SB I 5719.",
