Let us, children of Eutonios, sing the praises of our father, outstanding in wisdom and the begetter of excellent children, who lived through many ages, who distinguished himself thrice with the help of honoured friends, our dead father Eutonios, whose name is inscribed on stelae.

Unseren Vater, der hervorragt an Weisheit und den Erzeuger des Kindersegens, der lebte durch viele Zeiten, sich dreimal auszeichnete mit Hilfe der geehrten Freunde, den toten Vater Eutonios lasst uns, Kinder von Eutonios, im Hymnus erinnern, der auf Stelen eingeschrieben wurde.

The stone was once a cippus.
