Marcellina Aelius

Dis Manibus. Hic pietatis honos, haec sunt pia dona mariti, cui multum dilecta fui ego Mar cellina, pro merita: cernis quaeque mihi solus coniux Aelius quoquecoque post obitum memor amoris dicat.

To the Spirits of the Departed. This is recognition of dutifulness, these are the dutiful gifts of a husband to whom I truly was much loved, I, Marcellina, for my merits: you behold what my only husband, Aelius, dedicates to me in memory of this love even after my demise.

Éste es el 'homenaje de su cariño, éstos son los incondicionales dones de mi marido, por quien yo, Marcelina, fui amadísima, por mi buena conducta: ya ves las cosas que sólo mi esposo Elio, en memoria de su amor, me dedica tras mi muerte.

Zeilor Mani. Aceasta este cinstirea fidelității, acestea sunt ofrandele pioase ale soțului, căruia foarte dragă i-am fost eu Marcellina, pentru meritele mele; și vezi (cititorule) pentru mine singurul sot Aelius, în amintirea dragostei chiar și dupã moarte (îmi) închină (acest monument).
