Looking for someone who can translate something using the Greek alphabet?
I need help translating something on a tombstone. It is "IXOYE". The "E" is actually the Greek letter that looks like an M turned sideways. Thanking you in advance.

It is probably ΙΧΘΥΣ (Σ=Sigma and stands for an "ess" sound, not E). This word means fish, but it has been associated with Jesus as a symbol in the first centuries, because as initials it may be interpreted as
Ιησούς
Χριστός
Θεού
Υιός
Σωτήρ
(Jesus Christ Son of God Saviour)

I is IOTA not sure what X is O was actually the W sound and Y was actually a I sound and E could have been a hard EH or a AY.
