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
