. . . according to] the concession made to him by Menandros the son of Menandros the son of Telesphoros the son of Polemon, as confirmed in the Property-Archive. In which sarcophagus is already buried Flavia Antonia Abaskantina who was his wife and Apollonios himself shall be buried there. But no-one else shall have the right to open it or bury anyone else except the aforesaid Apollonios, since whoever has done or attempted anything contrary to this is to be considered impious and accursed and a tomb-breaker, and in addition to pay to the most sacred treasury of the lord emperor Caesar 60000 silver denarii, of which a third is to belong to the prosecutor. [A copy] of the inscription [ was deposited in the Property-Archive . . .

. . . according to the cession given to him by Menander, son of Menander, the son of Telesphorus, the son of Polemo [?], through the archives. In this sarcophagus there is buried Julia Antonia Abascantina, who had been his wife: there shall also be buried Apollonius himself. But another shall not have leave to open, or bury anybody else, except Apollonius, the aforesaid. Since he who acts against this, or attempts it, shall be impious, and cursed, and a grave-robber, and pay besides into the most sacred treasury of our master, the Emperor Caesar, 6000 silver denaria, of which one-third part is to be his who institutes proceedings pursuant to this inscription.
