The inscription actually says, "Salmamodes of Adada, good man, farewell." The other one (from the first post of this thread) says, "Oh Dioscourides of Pisidia-Balboura, son of Exabous, the standard bearer of the allied forces, good man, farewell. His brother Ceraios had (this stele) erected." Both are from Sidon.

The larger pics that I took in the museum this January are here:

No flash was allowed, so they are what they are.
