Zoticus

Zoticus hic nomen nudum vanumque reliquit, in cineres corpus et in aethera vita soluta est.

Text follows CIL 09 and CLE.

Zoticus has left here his bare and void name. His body was turned into ashes and his life was dissolved in the ether.

Zótico dejó aquí su nombre, desnudo y vacío. Su cuerpo se ha convertido en cenizas y su vida se ha disuelto en el aire.
