...of Menestheus, according to the concession given to him by Genethlios and Zeno through the record office, in which plot no one shall have the authority to bury anyone else after my death, except Helena, [daughter/wife?] of ...otos, son of Hierokles, son of Menodotos. No one else shall have the authority to bury anyone else, neither my heir under any pretext, nor to alienate the plot, nor to concede it to anyone. I wish also that Agathopous, the freedman of Kallikrates, my son, be laid to rest. But after the death of the aforementioned Tatia, Helena, and Agathopous, the plot shall be consecrated. If anyone attempts to do anything contrary to what has been arranged by me, let them be impious, cursed, and a tomb-robber, and let them pay in addition to the imperial fiscus 3,000 denarii of silver, of which the third part shall belong to the one who exacts justice. A copy of this inscription shall be deposited in the record office during the stephanephorate of Diogenes, son of Apollonios, son of Timokles, on the ... of the month of July. The plot is located, for those traveling from the city, on the right side of the road leading to the properties of ? the Doasi and Pharnakes.
