Translation
Ulpius Iouli(us) Trophimos of Smyrna, councilor and euposiarch and prytanis; I bought this hero-shrine and after purchasing also a cinerary-urn I built this for myself and for my wife Tuche and for our children and grandchildren and dependants and freedmen. No one else has the power to bury any other here nor to sell anything from those who are here. If anyone dares to do such a thing, he will pay 5 denarii to the Mother of the Gods Sipylene.
