The sarcophagus and the burial places below it are (the property) of Marcus Aurelius Apollonios son of Tiberius Claudius Menestheus. Within the sarcophagus Apollonios will be buried and his son Proklos and anyone else whom Apollonios or his son Proklos wishes or specifies. No one else shall have the right to bury anyone (here), except those whom Apollonios or his son Proklos specifies, since whoever has undertaken to do such a thing shall pay to Aphrodite as sacred money 2500 denarii, of which one third shall belong to the prosecutor. A copy of this was deposited in the Property-archive in the stephanephorate of Hermolaos son of Poseidippos, in the third month
