In his lifetime. The monument and the sarcophagus is [the property] of Ulpius Charito the physician. Into the sarcophagus
there shall be put himself and Flavia Thasia [?], his wife, and Ulpius Apellas, their son; but nobody else shall be put into
it, since he who buries another [there] shall pay as a fine to the augusti (i.e. Emperors) [6000] denaria. In the same way,
the three Isostae made of slabs, lying at the side of the monument and the sarcophagus, are to be the property of Ulpius Charito,
of which one is to be the property of Cornelianus, his son; one that of Dionysius, son of Dionysius [and] of Tatia, who had
been Charito's wife; and the third to be the property of Ulpius Apellas, his son
