Ti. Cl. Cu(l)chius Eutaktos constructed this memorial for himself and for his wife and for their children and grandchildren and dependants and freedmen. No-one has the power other than me alone to sell or to bring in another corpse. If anyone dares to sell or to bring in another corpse, he will pay to the gerousia and the neoi 2 denarii. A copy of this inscription is lodged in the archive.
