a. The sarcophagus is the property of Marcus Aurelius Alexandros, son of Hekataios the son of Dionysios the son of Zenon third from son of Zenon son of Zenon son of Hekataios Charmos, and of Aurelia Tatia, daughter of Alexandros, his wife; in which tomb there shall be buried Alexandros and Tatia the afore-mentioned, and Aurelii Alexandros and Alexandra the children of Alexandros son of Hekataios, their children; but no-one else will have a right to bury in it or to remove those named above. Since whoever dares to do anything of the kind is to be held sacrilegious, accursed and a tomb-breaker, and in addition is to pay to the goddess Aphrodite to provide her golden adornments 1500 silver denarii. A copy of this inscribed text was deposited in the Property-Archive when Hypsikles son of Adrastos Hierax was stephanephorus for the seventh time in the month Loos, which is the month of Hadrian.
