Aurelia Papiana, daughter of Onesimos, the son of Papias, bought the sarcophagus according to the will which Marcus Aurelius Cla[u]dius, son of Philetes, the son of Hermes, made. In this sarcophagus there has been buried Cla[u]dius, who had been the husband of Papiana, according to his last will; and there shall be buried in it also Aurelia Glypte, who had brought him up, and Papiana the aforesaid, and Glypte and Onesime, their daughters. But nobody shall have leave to bury another in the sarcophagus; since he shall pay to the most sacred treasury 3000 silver denaria, of which one-third is to be his who institutes proceedings. But in the Isoste, which is in the frieze under the sarcophagus, and those in the altar, there shall be buried those to whom the aforesaid Papiana may grant it, her children and heirs. A copy of this inscription has been deposited in the archives under the Stephanephorus Publia Aelia Attalis Sabina, on the third day of the month Gorpieus
