Cn. Domitius Proculus Cn. Domitius Verecundus

Dis Manibus. Cnaeo Domitio Proculo. Quam dulcis fuerat primus natalis meis, sed iniquo fato raptus non egi alterum. Annuclus mensiummensum septem carui spiritum, ereptus illis ad leves umbras vagor. Quid mater ventrem laceras? Quid pectora plangis? Cavere fatum nemo mortalis potest. Cnaeus Domitius Verecundus.

¡Qué bonito había sido mi primer cumpleaños para los míos!, pero, arrastrado por un injusto destino, no he llegado a conocer el segundo. Con un año y siete meses he perdido la vida y, separado de todos ellos, voy vagando a las ligeras sombras. ¿Por qué desgarras tu vientre, madre? ¿Por qué golpeas tu pecho? Ningún mortal puede escapar al destino.
