Translation

The Council and the People and the Gerousia honoured with the first and greatest honours Pyrrhos Papias son of Pyrrhos the son of Zenon son of Pyrrhos, of a first and honoured family and one which has undertaken the most important liturgies. He lived as a boy discreetly, and died while still a youth; his whole property came to the People to provide gymnasiarchies and stephanephoriates in perpetuity in accordance with the existing will of his father. This monument was set up by Tation daughter of Menippos son of Menippos, fourth of that name from Demetrios, his mother.
