In good memory. What I deserved in life and what I myself wished for in death, here it is, granted by the faithfulness of my dear wife. Though the horror of the infernal darkness is dreadful, nonetheless I believe I am in your house. Though her prayers were not answered, Aurelia Eusebia made this monument for a most illustrious man, her sweetest spouse, who, lived forty-five years, nine months, five days, and lived twenty-four years with his wife.

Lo que he merecido en vida y que también yo mismo he pedido al morir, la lealtad de mi esposa tan agradecida, ya lo véis, me lo ha proporcionado. Aunque el horror de la noche de los infiernos sea tan funesto, yo me hago a la idea, sin embargo, de que estoy en tu casa.
