[To the divine spirits of the departed?] and to the blessed memory - Fronto, treasurer of our two Augusti for Lower Moesia (set this monument up).
May the limbs of my dear Aelia, now enclosed in this tomb,

at least rest amid lovely flowers.

Queen of the great king Dis Pater (= Proserpina), I beg you for this,

for she deserved much from me for her praiseworthy deeds.

Though she did not deserve it, you quickly cut the thread of the goddesses,

unwinding the knot of the Parcae, who govern all.
If I could describe, with my lyre, her way of life, how pure she was,

I would move the spirits of the underworld.

First, she was chaste – you will hear this with pleasure –

as it is known both in the entire world and in the subterranean residence of Dis.

I beseech you to bid her dwell in the Elysian fields

and to bind her hair with myrtle and her temples with flowers.

Once she was the spirit of my home, my hope, my one and only life.

She wanted what I wanted, and what I did not want, she also spurned.

She had no secret that was unknown to me.

She did not eschew hard work, nor was she inexperienced in wool work.

Thrifty was her hand, but she was generous in her love for me, her husband.

Without me, she did not care for food nor for the gifts of Bacchus.

She was admirable in her advice, sharp-witted and of noble reputation.

Owner (of the land with the sarcophagus), I pray you look favourably on these verses

and annually adorn the site of this tomb.

I beg you to cherish this eternal monument bedecking it,

according to the time of the year, with dewy roses or the pleasant flowers of the amaranth

and all sorts of fresh fruits of various kinds,

so that it is taken care of at all times of the year.
