[The monument] of Publius Aelius Ulpius, veteran from the rank of a decurion.
It was agreed to consecrate this eternal resting place, this respite from long labour, as where he shall bury his tired limbs at last. Ulpius, tired from years of service of drawn out duty,
himself took care of his inscription, he himself, the arbiter
of the tomb, prepared the guest-room for his limbs and Fate.</p>
