                <p>For Aelia Aeliana. 
You, who know the letters, read of a girl’s fate and feel the pain: many call a sarcophagus what consumes the limbs: but one must call this a house for bees, shut, and proper. Oh, here lies – an unworthy sacrilege! – a beautiful girl: this is more than just pain, an attractive girl has been snatched away. The girl lived to enjoy aspects of maturity, she announced her marriage, the parents were delighted over the pledge: for she lived 17 years, 7 months, and 18 days. Oh lucky father, who did not get to see such pain. Dionysias, the mother, has a wound tacked onto her heart, and, united with himself, Geron, the father, himself holds the girl.</p>

                <p>Tú que conoces el alfabeto, lee y lamenta la suerte de esta niña. Muchos lo llaman sarcófago porque consume los miembros, pero esta especie de nicho adecuado a las abejas, debe ser llamado casa. iOh crimen indigno!, aquí yace una ilustre muchacha, esto es más que un simple dolor, una preciosa muchacha ha sido arrebatada. Vivió hasta el final doncella; cuando ya mayorcita empezaba a agradar, anunció su boda y sus padres se alegraron de su compromiso. Vivió, pues, diecisiete años, siete meses y dieciocho días. iOh, afortunado su padre, porque no vio un dolor tan grande! Pero la herida se ha quedado grabada en el corazón de su madre Dionisíade, y, unida a él, tiene ahora consigo a la niña su padre Gerón.</p>
