Aristolaos, my father-in-law, of blessed memory, died and entered his rest in indiction 1, month 2, day 14, a Sunday

The thrice fortunate, of blessed memory, who was lady of these here, my mother-in-law, Theodoreta, also entered her rest in indiction 4, month 4, day 13, a Friday.

The lady Philosophia, the daughter of Aristolaos and Theodoreta of blessed memory, who became acknowledged wife to me, Joannes Philadelphos, was born in indiction 15, month 4, day 5, in the consulate of Rusticius and lived her full span until indiction 14, month 7, day 20, a Wednesday, year 25 of the reign of our most sacred and pious master, Flavius Justinianos, and year 10 after the consulate of Flavius Basilios. So the living should know that Philosophia, of blessed memory, lived in all 29 years, 2 months, 15 days. So may God receive their souls, and grant eternity to their spirits.
