(The sarcophagus was made) while they were still alive. This is the sarcophagus of Flavius Papias, an agent (?) of the most glorious (clarissima) Fulvia Cervidia Vestina, the descendant of a consul. Papias himself will be buried in it, and together with him Aurelia Faustina, the daughter of his foster-child Achilleus, his own wife, and Aurelius Euethios, the son of Paparion, and Aurelia Ammias, the daughter of Straton. Nobody else will have the authority to bury anyone in this sarcophagus, because (otherwise) he will pay to the most sacred treasury (a fine) of 2,000 denarii, half of which will belong to the person who will prosecute this crime. A copy of this has been deposited in the archives. During the term of office as stephanephoros, for the seventh time, of Hypsikles Hierax, son of Adrastos, grandson of Nikotimos, in the month Xandikos.

Le sarcophage appartient à Flavius Papias, agent de la clarissime consulaire Fulvia Cervidia Vestina. - De leur vivant. - Dans ce sarcophage seront ensevelis Papias lui-même, Aurelia Faustina, sa femme, fille de son trophimos Achille [ou fille d'Achille fils de Trophimos], Aurelius Euethios, fils de Paparion, et Aurelia Ammias, fille de Straten. Personne d'autre ne sera autorisé à ensevelir quelqu'un dans ce sarcophage, car (en ce cas) il paiera au très sacré? trésor 2 000 deniers d'argent, et la moitié en reviendra à celui qui aura porté plainte ; une copie simple de ceci a été déposé aux archives. Sous la septième stéphanéphorie d'Hypsiklès Hierax, fils d'Adrastos, (petit-fils) de Nicotimos Hierax, au mois Xandikos.
