Found as an example in the RDA cataloging book I'm currently reading for work

24500Gold lamella with a Greek inscription, between 1st and 3rd centuries A.D.
[...]
500 Lamellae, small pieces of metal on which an inscription appears, range in date from the second century BC through the Roman Period and are found in tombs from Palestine. They were buried with the deceased, placed on the forehead.
500 The inscription is on one side of the lamella only.
500 Text of inscription: θάρσει, Ἡρακλιανέ, οὐδὶς ἀθάνατος.
500 Text of inscription: tharsei, Hērakliane, oudis athanatos.
500 Translation of inscription: Cheer up, Heraklianus, nobody's immortal.


LOL.
