English translation

Translation by: Joyce M. Reynolds

The Council and the People honoured also after death Claudia Tryphosa Paulina, priestess daughter of Claudius Apollonios, high priest, because of the beneficence of her father and ancestors to the homeland in all matters, and for her own decorous behaviour: she was outstandingly beautiful and died still a virgin.

English translation

The Senate and the People honoured, even when she had departed, Claudia Tryphosa Pauleina, the daughter of ApoUonius-the high-priest, herself a high-priestess, who, for the sake both of the most honourable zeal of her father and forefathers towards the common weal, as of her own comeliness, was distinguished in praise, and died still a maiden.
