The sarcophagus belongs to Aemilius Aristeas, conceded to him by Flavius Antonius Pytheas and Flavius Antonius Diogenes, sons of Apollonios the high-priest, through the registry office in (the year of) Diogenes Dometeinos, and in the month Gorpiaios. In this sarcophagus has been buried Carminia Philemation, the wife of Aristeas, and there will be buried also Aristeas and Aur(elia) Iasone. No-one else shall have the right either to inter or to disinter, and whoever contravenes these (dispositions) is to be impious and accursed, and in addition he is to pay to the goddess Aphrodite 2500 denarii, of which one third will belong to the successful prosecutor. A copy of this (text) was deposited in the registry-office in the (year of) Dometeinos Diogenes, stephanephoros for the seventh time, in the month Claudieios.

The sarcophagus is the property of Aemilius Aristeas, ceded to him by Flavius Antonius Pytheas and Flavius Antonius Diogenes, sons of Apollonios the high-priest, a transaction registered in the civic archive in the year of Diogenes Dometinos, month Gorpiaios. In this sarcophagus Carminia Philemation wife of Aristeas has been buried, and Aristeas and Aurelia Iasone will be buried; but no-one else shall have the right to place a body in it or to remove a body from it, since whoever acts in any way contrary to these provisions is to be (considered) sacrilegious and accursed and furthermore is to pay to the goddess Aphrodite 2,500 denarii, of which one third is to belong to the prosecutor. A copy of this (text) was also deposited in the civic archive in the seventh stephanephorate of Diogenes Dometinos, in the month Claudieios.
