Ζῶσιν Ἡ σορὸς καὶ ἡ ὑποκειμένη αὐτῇ εἰσώστη σὺν τῷ βαθρικῷ εἰσὶν Αὐρηλίας Ἀπφίας τῆς Ἀττάλου τοῦ Ἀρτεμιδώρου Ἀμυντιανοῦ, ἐν ᾗ σορῷ κηδευθήσεται Ἀπφία ἡ προγεγραμμένη μόνη· ἕτερον δὲ οὐδένα οὐδεὶς ἕξει ἐξουσίαν ἐνθάψαι ἐπεὶ ἀποτείσει εἰς τὸ ἱερώτατον ταμεῖον [...]Υ [...] τρισχείλια πεντακόσια, ὧν τὸ τρίτον ἔσται τοῦ ἐκδικήσαντος · ἐν δὲ τῇ εἰσώστῃ κηδευθήσεται Αὐρηλία Τατία μόνη ἡ θρεπτὴ αὐτῆς· ἕτερον δὲ οὐδεὶς ἕξει ἐξουσίαν ἐνθάψαι τινα ἢ ἐκθάψαι σωμάτειον, ἐπεὶ ὑπεύθυνος ἔσται τῷ αὐτῷ προστείμῳ· Ταύτης τῆς ἐπιγραφῆς ἀντίγραφον ἀπετέθη εἰς τὸ χρεοφυλάκιον ἐπὶ στεφανηφόρου Ἀτταλίδος τὸ ιβ μηνὸς Καίσαρος· Αὐρηλία Ἀπφιὰς Ἀττάλου ἀπεθέμην

(Made while still) alive. This sarcophagus and the niche underneath it together with the platform belong to Aurelia Apphia, daughter of Attalos Amyntianos, son of Artemidoros; in this sarcophagus shall be buried the aforementioned Apphia, alone. No one shall have authorisation to bury inside another body, for he shall pay to the most sacred treasury 3500 -, one-third of which shall belong to the prosecutor. In the niche shall be buried Aurelia Tatia, her alumna, alone. No one shall have authorisation to bury any other body or to remove a body, for he shall be subject to the same fine.
