Hail, passers-by. Gnaeus Pollius Xenon, son of Gnaeus Pollius Kallistos lies here in this memorial; and I wish Meltine my
wife to be buried in this memorial and no-one else. And if anyone wishes to place anyone in this memorial contrary to these
(scil. provisions), he is to be punished by Aphrodite with a fine of one thousand [denarii].
