Explore the Inscription of this artwork.
The portrait includes a Greek inscription written in dark purple pigment below the neckline of the tunic. The boy is identified with the name "Eutyches" (Ancient Greek: Εὐτυχής) followed by "freedman of Kasanios". Scholars do not completely agree on whether the rest of the inscription is translated as "son of Herakleides Evandros" or "Herakleides, son of Evandros".
