Acknowledgement Thank you to Ian McHaffie, Edinburgh, for providing the details below. Ian has been searching for all the Greek inscriptions he could find in Scotland. He has found about 30 in Edinburgh, including this one on Sotires Georgiades' grave. |

Translation The last two lines of the inscription are in Greek. The translation is:
SOURCE: And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labours, for their deeds follow them!” Revelation 14:13 Ian McHaffie, Edinburgh, 21 October 2005 |

Names Ian comments: "Sotires presumably is a variant of the Greek word for 'Saviour' or 'Protector' Georgiades means 'Son of George', like his wife's name Davidson means 'Son of David'." Ian McHaffie, Edinburgh, 21 October 2005 |
