The sarcophagus, and the monument, and the Isostae, and all that belongs thereto, have been built by, and are the property
of, Tiberius Julius Glyco, as is also declared by the deed of tradition in the Archives. In this sarcophagus there are to
be buried both Glyco himself, and those whom he wishes or ordains; but in the Isostae there are to be buried those whom Glyco
wishes or permits by writ, or ordains to be buried. But another shall not have leave to bury any one, either in the sarcophagus
or in the Isostae, except those whom Glyco in his lifetime wishes to bury [their dead there]. But no other person shall have
leave to bury, or to take out any corpse of those buried by Glyco's desire; neither by [availing himself of] a decree, nor
an injunction from the governor, nor in any other way; neither shall he alienate nor move the sarcophagus; since he who attempts
any of these acts, or gives leave to another, shall pay to the most sacred treasury 5000 denaria, of which one-third shall
be his who institutes proceedings. A copy of this inscription was also deposited in the archives, there being Stephanephorus
for the thirteenth time Attalis, the daughter of Menecrates, in the month Xandicus
