Written on the Floor
Written on the floor in the room with the Inscription:
- Macedon's greatest king, the Great Alexander, was not buried here, being entombed in royal state in Egypt, and only one of his three children, little Alexander, is honored in Aigai. But so that the memory of his other children may be honored here as well, their names are immortalized by the charms of mighty Ikulu.
- She asked only in return that her dead daughter, who is not buried here, be memorialized as well.
- Ikulu's monument of the three charms was moved by Antigonus Gonatus, in the eighth year of his reign, to the underneath of Heroön, to preserve it from the onslaughts of the barbarians.
