Sint licet exiguae fugentia tempora vitae
parvaq(ue) raptorum cito transeat hora dierum
mergat et Elysiis mortalia corpora terris
adsidue rupto Lachesis male conscia penso
5iam tamen inventa est blandae rationis imago
per quam prolatos homines in tempora plu[ra]
longior excipiat memoratio multaq(ue) servet
secum per titulos mansuris fortius annis
ecce recens pietas omni placitura favore
10ingentem famae numerum cum laude meretur
exemplo iam plena novo quam Flavius alto
more Secundus agens patrio signavit honore
quis non iam pronis animi virtutibus adsit
quis non hoc miretur opus fusasq(ue) videndo
15divitias stupeat tantos se cernere census
per quos aetherias surgunt monimenta per auras
haec est fortunae melius laudanda facultas
sic sibi perpetuas faciunt impendia sedes
sic immortales scit habere pecunia mores
20aeterno quotiens stabilis bene figitur usu
viderit ille furor nimio qui ducitur auro
quem trahit argenti venalis sanguine candor
viderit et fusae vanis in amoribus errans
gloria luxuriae peregrinas quaerere magno
25quae didicit vestes gemmasq(ue) nitore placentes
aut ab Aeruthreo venientia munera fluctu
quam laedunt gentes vario certamine rerum
Graecia cum pueris Hispania Pallados usu
venatu Lybiae tellus orientis amomo
30Aegyptos Phariis levitatibus artibus actis
Gallia semper ovans dives Campania vino
haec cito deficiunt et habent breve munus amoris
momentis damnata suis sed si quis ad omnes
respiciat vitae casus hominemque laboret
35metiri brevitate sua tunc credere discet
nil aliut melius fieri nisi viribus aevi
quot possit durare diu sub honore deorum
nunc ego non dubitem tacitis Acherontos in umbris
si post Fata manent sensus gaudere parentem
40saepe Secunde tuum reliquas et spernere turmas
quod sciat hic tantam faciem superesse sepulchri
perpetua novitate sui s[i]c stare nitentes
consensus lapidum sic de radice levatos
in melius crevisse gradus ut et angulus omnis
45sic quasi mollitae ductus sit stamine cerae
mobilibus signis hilaris scalptura n[ov]a[t]ur
et licet atsidue probet hos vaga turba decores
lucentes stupeat pariter pendere columnas
quit cum militiae titulos ipsumque parentem
50numinibus dederis haec gaudia saepe videntem
quae quondam dedit ipse loco dum munera Bacchi
multa creat primasq(ue) cupit componere vi[te]s
et nemus exornat revocatis saepius undis
permittant mihi [fa]ta loq[ui n]octisq(ue) timendae
55regnator Stygius sic immortalis haberi
iam debet pater ecce tuus Ditisq(ue) relicti
tristem deservisse domum dum tempore toto
mavolt haec monumenta sequi scriptisq(ue) per aevom
[vi]vere nominibus solitis insistere lucis
60[adsi]due patrias hinc cernere dulciter arces.
Quosq(ue) dedit natis prope semper habere Penates
forsitan haec multi vano sermone ferentes
venturae citius dicant praesagia mortis
si quis dum vivit ponat monimenta futuris
5temporibus mihi non tales sunt pectore sensus
set puto securos fieri quicumque parare
aeternam volvere domum certoque rigore
numquam lapsuros vitae defigere muros
fatis certa via est neq(ue) se per stamina mutat
10Atropos ut primo coepit decurrere filo
crede Secunde mihi pensatos ibis in annos
set securus eris set toto pectore dives
dum nulli gravis esse potes nec plena labore
testamenta facis tuus hoc dum non timet heres
15ut sic aedificet iam nunc quodcumq(ue) relinques
totum perveniet tua quo volet ire voluntas
sed revocat me cura operis celsiq(ue) decores
stat sublimis honor vicinaq(ue) nubila pulsat
et solis metitur iter si iungere montes
20forte velint oculi vincuntur in ordine colles
si videas campos infra iacet abdita tellus
non sic Romuleas exire colossos in arces
dicitur aut circi medias obeliscus in auras
nec sic sistrigeri demonstrat pervia Nili
25dum sua perspicuis aperit Pharos aequora flam(m)is
quid non docta facit pietas lapis ecce foratus
luminibus multis hortatur currere blandas
intus apes et cerineos componere nidos
ut semper domus haec Thymbraeo nectare dulcis
30sudet florisapos dum dant nova mella liquores
huc iterum pietas venerandas erige mentes
et mea quo nosti carmina more fove
ecce Secundus adest iterum qui pectore sancto
non monimenta patri sed nova templa dedit
35quo nunc Calliope gemino me limite cogis
quas iam transegi ru(r)sus adire vias
nempe fuit nobis operis descriptio magni
diximus et iunctis saxa polita locis
circuitus nemorum currentes dulciter undas
40atque reportantes m[ell]a frequenter apes
hoc tamen hoc solum [n]ostrae puto defuit arti
dum cadis ad multos ebria Musa iocos
in summo tremulas galli non diximus alas
altior extrema qui puto nube volat
cuius si membris vocem natura dedisset
cogeret hic omnes surgere mane deos
et iam nominibus signantur limina certis
cernitur et titulis credula vita suis
5opto Secunde geras multos feliciter annos
et quae fecisti tu monimenta legas

Titus Flavius Secundus, son, made this: for Titus Flavius Secundus, his pious father. He served in the military for 33 years, he lived for 110, here he lies. For Flavia Urbana, his pious mother. She lived for 105 years, here she lies. For Flavia Secunda, his pious sister. She lived for 20 years, here she lies. For Titus Flavius Marcellus, his pious brother. He lived for 20 years, here he lies. For Titus Flavius Martialis, his brother. He served in the military for 13 years, he lived for 35 years, here he lies. For Flavia Sperata, his pious sister. She lived for 36 years, here she lies. For Aemilia Pacata, daughter of Sextus, his pious wife, flaminica perpetua. She lived for 53 years, here she lies. Titus Flavius Secundus, son of Titus, of the Papirian tribe, a flamen perpetuus himself, lived for 60 years, lies here. For Flavia Pacata, daughter of Titus, flaminica perpetua of colonia Thelepta, his pious daughter. Flavia Libera, her mother, put up her statue. She lived for 15 years and 10 months, and lies here. Flavia Libera, pious wife of Titus Flavius Secundus, lived for 88 years, lies here. Flavia Faustina, pious, lived for 38 years, lies here. Her parents, Titus Flavius Faustinus and Flavia Victoria, put [this] up [for her]. Flavia Libera, pious, lived for 16 years and 6 months. Her parents, Titus Flavius Faustinus and Flavia Victoria put [this] up [for her]. Here she lies. Titus Flavius Receptus, of the Papirian tribe, ex-aedile, quaestor aerari, decurio of colonia Thelepta, pious, lived for 36 years, lies here. His parents, Titus Flavius Faustinus and Flavius Victoria put [this] up [for him]. a It is the natural law that the time of brief life is fleeting, and the short hours of the days that are seized [from us] pass by quickly, and Lachesis, aware that she maliciously breaks her thread, continually, buries mortal bodies in Elysian land. Now, however, the semblance of a beguiling system has been found through which men may exist, prolonged throughout the ages. Longer shall their memory exist, and much of it be preserved, with them in inscriptions which shall remain, sturdier, throughout the years. Look! A recent act of piety, that will win favour with everyone, deserves great amount of fame, with praise; now it has been completed from a new precedent, which Flavius Secundus, acting in the manner of his father, marked in his honour. Who stops here now without favourable virtus in their mind, who shall not admire this work and be astonished, looking at such expense poured [into this monument], to see such wealth, through which the monument surges upwards into the air in the ether? This is the most praiseworthy way of [expressing one’s] fortune, in this way, these expenses make his final resting place eternal for him, in this way, money knows that it has an immortal purpose, as it is well and firmly fixed with an eternal use. It is up to others to see3731 that madness which is led by too much gold, what the beauty of silver takes with a bribe of blood, and it is up to others to see the error of pride poured out in extravagance to false lovers. This learnt to seek, for a vast sum of money, clothes from far off lands and gems delightful in their sparkle, or gifts obtained from the waves of the Indian Ocean, which the people of the world have wounded one another for in various combats, Greece with boys, Spain with the skill of Pallas, the land of Libya for hunting, cardamom from the East, Egyptian lands with frivolous people from Pharus, Gaul always rejoices in its skill in art, Campania rich in wine. These gifts are quickly forsaken and are condemned for their a brief moment of pleasure. But if anyone who shall look back at all the misfortunes of life and be troubled by man’s brief existence, will then learn to believe that nothing will be better unless that which can endure for a long time in the strength of the living, in honour of the gods. Now I, I do not doubt that, amongst the silent shades in Acheron, if feelings remain after death, your father, Secundus, is joyful and spurns the rest of the crowd, because he shall know that such an appearance of a tomb survives in its perpetual novelty, in this way the stone stands, bright, in harmony, in this way the steps, rising up from the foundations, ascend more correctly, and it is as if every edge had been made in this way, shaped by soft wax. The cheerful statue is innovative with mobile designs and the wandering crowd rightly continually approves of the decorations, they are equally astounded to contemplate the shining columns. What about when you gave to the divinities inscriptions of his military service and your father himself? He often observed these delights which he once gave to this place, while it created plentiful gifts of Bacchus and he wanted to lay out the first vines and supply the grove more frequently with diverted streams. The Fates and the ruler of the Styx, of the night that must be feared, permit me to speak: in this way, look, now your father ought to be considered immortal, and to have abandoned and deserted the gloomy house of Dis, when, for the whole of time, he prefers to follow this monument and to live forever in his inscribed name, to pause in the groves he was accustomed to, to continually see the stronghold of his homeland, sweeter to him, from here, and to have the household gods he gave to his children always nearby. Perhaps many, in empty words, talk about how those who speak prematurely of their death will come to it faster, if anyone while he lives shall put up a monument for future events. There are no such feelings in my heart, but I think whoever wants to make an eternal home, in the surety and rigidity of life, prepare and establish worry-free walls that never fade away. The road of Fate is fixed, nor can Atropos change it with her thread: as she begins to traverse the first thread, believe me, Secundus, you will go through the years that have been weighed out for you. But you will be worry-free, rich in your whole heart, when you can be neither a burden nor make wills filled with work, when your heir need not be afraid, as you will have built it in this way. Already now whatever you leave behind will arrive in its entirety where your will wishes it to go. But attention to the work, and the lofty beauties, call me back. This honourable duty stands tall and beats against the nearby clouds and it measures out the journey of the sun. If by chance one’s eyes wish to span the mountains, their hilly forms are conquered one after another; if you shall see the plains, the earth lies hidden below. It is said that, in this way, the Colossus does not rise above the Romulean hills, or the obelisk of the Circus into the middle of the wind, nor in this way does Pharos expose the entrance of the sistrum-rattling Nile while it reveals its waters with clear flames. What does this skilled act of piety not do? Look, the stone, which has been bored with many openings, encourages charming bees to hurry inside and make waxy nests, so that this home shall always exude flower-scented liquid, sweet with thyme nectar, while they make new honey. b Come here again, piety! Encourage ideas that must be revered and foster my verses in your manner! Look! Secundus addresses you again, he who, from his virtuous breast, did not give a monument to his father, but a new temple. Now why, Calliope, do you limit me to a double boundary, to approach again roads I have already gone down? Surely, I have described my great work and I have spoken about the polished stones, joined together, in this place, the groves around it, the sweetly running streams and the bees that frequently bring back their honey? However this, this alone, I think, is missing in my work of art, while you fall, inebriated Muse, to many jovialities: I have not spoken about the trembling wings of the cock on the top, which flies higher, I think, than the last cloud; if nature had given a voice to its limbs, it would compel all the gods to rise in the morning. And now the entrance is marked with the assured names and life sees the truth in these inscriptions. I hope, Secundus, you will live successfully for many years and you, you shall read the monument which you made. |

Aunque los momentos de la corta vida sean efímeros, aun- que la breve hora de nuestros días arrebatados pase con presteza y Láquesis, traidora, sumerja con frecuencia los cuerpos perecederos en los Campos Elíseos interrumpiendo su tarea, sin embargo ya se ha hallado un atractivo medio de representación, gracias al cual un recuerdo más duradero puede seguir por mucho tiempo a los hombres de larga vida y guar- dar memoria de sus muchas hazañas con más fuerza, para siempre, a través de sus epitafios.
Y he aquí que una entrega filial infatigable, dispuesta a agradar con toda clase de favores, merece, junto con las ala- banzas, la ingente recompensa de su renombre; una dedicación totalmente inusitada que Flavio Secundo, comportándo- se según la costumbre tradicional, subrayó con la dignidad que había heredado de su padre. ¿Quién no va a reconocer las cualidades naturales de su alma? ¿Quién no va a admirar esta obra meritoria y, al ver las riquezas que se han esparcido, no se va a maravillar de poder contemplar tanto poderío, gracias al cual el monumento se eleva hasta el cielo? Éste es
el uso de la riqueza que merece mayores alabanzas, es así co- mo importantes inversiones logran una morada imperecedera, es así como el dinero logra tener un carácter inmortal, cuando, inquebrantable, se aferra a un uso eterno. Allá se las vea aquel delirio que es guiado ciegamente por el oro excesivo, que se mueve arrastrado por el brillo de la plata que seha comprado con sangre, y allá se las vea también la vanagloria de una lujuria que se dispersa errante en amores vanos, que haaprendido abuscara elevado precioro pajes exóticos o piedras preciosas que seducen con su esplendor o regalos procedentes de las aguas eritreas ', de un lujo que los distintos pueblos excitan con la rivalidad de sus productos y sus gentes: Grecia con sus esclavos, Hispania con el uso del aceite de oliva, la tierra de Libia con la caza, los pueblos orientales con sus ungüentos, Egipto con sus ligeros tejidos, Galia siempre afamada por su arte, o la rica Campania con sus vinos. Todas estas cosas, condenadas por su brevedad, rápidamente dejan de existir y su tributo de amor es efímero; pero si alguien reflexiona sobre todos los azares de su vida y se esfuerza en valorar al hombre, teniendo en cuenta su carácter perecedero, entonces aprenderá a creer que ninguna otra cosa mejor se ha hecho que aquello que es capaz de perdurar mucho a través del tiempo, bajo la buena consideración de los dioses.
Ahora yo, si es que tras la muerte pervive alguna sensación, no dudaré que tu padre, Segundo, goza sin cesar en las silenciosas sombras del Aqueronte y desprecia las demás multitudes, porque él se da cuenta de que una figura tan sobresaliente va a sobrevivir gracias a la imperecedera originalidad de su sepulcro, y que la armónica colocación de to- das sus piedras se va a mantener en pie, impecable, y que la serie de escalones que se elevan desde su base, va a ir subiendo como si cada uno de sus rincones fuera trazado por un hilo de cera maleable. En el lugar de otras estatuas perecederas se ha construido de nuevo esta vigorosa escultura y, aunque la multitud que se acerca a ella suele apreciar con frecuencia la belleza de estos trabajos, al mismo tiempo se queda estupefacta al verla alzarse sobre sus relucientes columnas. ¿Y qué decir de que les hayas ofrecido a los dioses los méritos de su vida militar y la propia imagen de tu padre, radiante por las satisfacciones que él mismo le proporcionó
en el pasado a este lugar, mientras hacía germinar en abun- dancia los frutos de Baco y estaba ansioso por ofrecer las primeras vides y adornaba el bosque con las aguas que hizo traer repetidas veces?
Permítanme decir los hados y Estigio que reina sobre la noche más temida, que tu querido padre debe ser ya considerado inmortal y debe haber abandonado la funesta morada de Plutón, alejándose de él, pues prefiere estar siempre en este monumento fúnebre y pervivir por los siglos en su nombre grabado, morar en los bosques que acostumbraba y con templar a menudo desde aquí, con cariño, su ciudad patria y tener siempre cerca el hogar que les dio a sus hijos. Tal vez muchos de los que suelen charlotear con insulsa conversación, digan que se presagia con demasiada antelación la llegada de la muerte, si es que alguien, mientras vive, construye su sepulcro para cuando le llegue el momento. Pero no es tal mi sentir, pues pienso que dejan de estar preocupados to- dos los que han querido prepararse una eterna morada y establecer con firmeza para su vida un muro de defensa que nunca habrá de derribarse. El camino hacia la muerte es seguro y Átropo no altera la dirección de sus hilos: cuando comienza el curso de una vida desde su primer hilo, créeme, Segundo, vivirás los años que se te hayan asignado. Pero estarás a salvo y serás plenamente dichoso, si es que logras no molestar a nadie y no haces testamentos difíciles, si tu heredero no teme el tener que hacer un edificio así. Ahora ya, sea lo que sea lo que dejes atrás, todo ello llegará hasta donde tú quieras que vaya.
Pero vuelvo al cuidado y la excelsa hermosura de esta obra. Se eleva su honor, aleja las nubes de su entorno y se so iguala el camino del sol. Si por casualidad tus ojos quieren compararlo con los montes, supera a una hilera de colinas y si quisieras mirar hacia la campiña, allí abajo yace la tierra muy lejana. Se dice que en la ciudad de Roma ni siquiera los colosos sobresalen tanto, ni el obelisco del circo que se ele-
ss va hasta el cielo, y ni siquiera la isla del Faro deja ver el cau- ce del egipcio Nilo, cuando ilumina las aguas con sus llamas penetrantes. ¿Qué no va a lograr el afecto, cuando sabe lo que hace? Fijaos cómo esta piedra perforada por muchos orificios anima a las suaves abejas a correr hacia su interior y preparar sus nidos de cera, para que siempre esta morada, endulzada por el néctar de ajedrea, destile néctares con sabor a flores a la vez que miel recién hecha.
Oh, diosa del amor filial, eleva de nuevo aquí mi espíri- tu lleno de veneración e inspira mis versos como sabes hacer desde antiguo. Fíjate, aquí está de nuevo Segundo, que con su más santa intención ha ofrecido a su padre, no sólo uns monumento fúnebre, sino además este nuevo santuario. Oh, Calíope, ¿por qué me obligas ahora, por segunda vez, a emprender de nuevo un camino que ya he atravesado? Ya he hecho sin duda la descripción de este magnífico monumen- to y he hablado también de las rocas bruñidas en todo su en- torno y de la extensión de sus bosques, de las aguas que allí fluyen suavemente y de las abejas que nos proporcionan tanta miel. Pero sólo una cosa, sólo una, creo, le ha faltado a nuestra artística descripción mien trastú, Musa embriagada hacías concesiones a tantas frivolidades: no hemos hablado delas alas del gallo que se balancean en su parte superior, un gallo que parece volar más allá de la última nube, de tal modo que si la naturaleza hubiese dotado de voz a su cuerpo obligaría a todos los dioses a levantarse muy de mañana. Y ya el umbral de tu mausoleo está grabado con los nombres correspondientes y todo el balance de tu vida puede leerse también en sus inscripciones. Te deseo, Secundo, que pases felizmente muchos años y que leas las inscripciones que tú mismo hiciste. (Spanish, C. Fernández Martínez, Poesía epigráfica latina II) -
Aelia Marcia, his mother to her dead son, and Aelia Apollonia his sister supervised the erection of this monument to the memory of Quintus Aelius Apollonius, soldier of new miliar: cohort of Syr-ians; served for three years, lived for twenty.
To a man is given life thatis slippery, shaky, fleeting, fragile, good or bad, treacherous, hanging on a slender threac through a variety of chances with no clearly-marked finishing-post. Live to the full, mortal, while the Fates grant you time, whether the country embraces you or cities or a military camp or the sea. Love the flowers of Venus, pluck the benign gifts of Ceres and the generous gifts of Bacchus and the viscous gifts of Athena; cultivate a serene life, calm because of your clear conscience. Speedily a boy and a youth, speedily a man and then worn out by old age, you will be like this in the tomb, with no memory of the honours of men alive on earth.
Even though the period of short life is fleeting, the brief hour of our days passes quickly and they are snatched from us (or of the days at which wesnatch), guilty Lachesis breaks her thread and continually submerges mortal bodies in the territory of Elysium; yet there has been discovered a seductively-devised substitute, so that by means of it a longer-lasting report can embrace men, their life prolonged for a greater time, and preserve many details, since the years will endure with it more firmly because of inscribed records.See, a recent filial gesture, which will meet with total approval, deserves a great mass of fame and praise, a gesture pregnant with a novel precedent; Flavius Secundus, acting in his father's style, has marked that gesture with a lofty mark of honour. Who would decline to approve this with the support of the noble instincts of the mind, who would not admire this work, who, as he sees riches poured out, would not be amazed at beholding such wealth, by means of which the monument rises through the breezes of the ether? This is the use of wealth which deserves higher praise, this is how spending creates an ever-lasting abode, this is how money finds a way to have eternal merit, when in stability it is grounded in a use that lasts for ever.
Let that madness see to itself which is swayed by over-much gold, which the brightness of silver bought with blood drags captive; let the vagrant vanity of extravagance poured out on meaningless amours see to itself, that extravagance which has learned to seek at great cost foreign attire and gems which seduce with their brightness, or gifts coming from the Indian Ocean, that extravagance which is corrupted by the peoples of the world with their rival commodities, Greece with young slaves, Spain with the fruits of Pallas, the land of Libya with wild beasts hunted down and that of the Near East with its amomum, Egypt with cheeky Alexandrian slaves, Gaul with works of art which it produces with continual pride, rich Campania with wine. (32) These things swiftly fade and carry but a brief meed of attractive ness, condemned by their own quick passing; but if one considers all the hazards of life and strives to measure man by his brief span, then he will learn to believe that nothing better is achieved than what is able to last long in vigorous aging, with respect for (or the respect of the gods.
Now, if sensation survives after death, I would not doubt that your father, Secundus, in the silent shades of Acheron often rejoices and spurns the other groups of ghosts because he realises that here on earth there remains this impressive tomb in its eternal novelty, that the shining well-fitted slabs stand as they do, that the levels of steps raised from the foundation have grown finer, so that every corner has been traced as if with the stuff of malleable wax. ASprightly sculpture constitutes an innovation in a mobile effigy, and the crowd passing by can continually applaud these adomments and be amazed at the matching columns which gleam overhead.
What about when you gave-to the sainted dead the inscription recording your father's military career and your father himself? He often sees the delights which he himself bestowed on the place in producing an abundance of the gifts of Bacchus and desiring to lay out the first vines and making the grove flourish by many diversions of the stream. May destiny and the infernal ruler of dread darkness permit me to say that in this way your tather now deserves to be considered immortal and to have departed from and abandoned the gloomy halls of Dis, namely that through all time he prefers to accompany this monument and to live for eternity in the inscribed record, to dwell in the grove to which he was accustomed, from here to see with continuous pleasure the buildings of his native city, and to have by him for ever the home which he gave to his children.
Perhaps many people, commenting in empty words, say that it is a presage of death destined to arrive sooner if a man during his lifetime establishes a monument for time yet to come. Such opinions are not in my heart, but I believe that freedom from care comes to those who have resolved to prepare an eternal abode and with unswerving rectitude of life to establish walls that will never fall.
Destiny has its fixed path and Atropos does not alter herself in her spinning; as she has begun to draw out the first thread, so (believe me, Secundus) will you proceed to years measured out. But you will be free from care and rich in all your being when you can no longer be oppressive to anyone and do not make wills filled with obligations, when your heir does not fear that he may have to build (a monument) in this style. Whatever you leave now will in its totality end up where your wishes desire it to go.
But am called back by consideration of the work and its lofty beauties. Its impressiveness reaches into the sky, impinges on the neighbouring clouds and measures the course of the sun. If the eyes should happen to desire to survey the hills one after another, each summit in turn is dominated; if you should view the plains, the ground lies thrust far below. No match for this is the colossus said to be level with the hills of Rome or the obelisk of the circus said to reach into the air, or the lighthouse which points out the channels of the sistrum-rattling Nile while disclosing the waters around itself with its farvisible flames. What does this filial loyalty linked with expertise not achieve? See, the stone perforated with man apertures encourages docile bees to fly inside and set up their wax hives, so that this abode, sweetened with thyme nectar, may exude flower-scented juices while they produce fresh honey.
Filial affection, once again arouse your awe-inspiring mind to this purpose and nurture my song in the way familiar to you. See, - here again is Secundus, who with pure heart has given to his father not a monument but a new type of shrine. For what purpose, Calliope, do you constrain me on a double path to approach again the roads which I have already traversed? For I have executed the description of the great work and described the polished stones well set together, the surrounding groves, the waters running charmingly and the bees which regularly bring back their honey.
Yet thisthing, thisalone, think, was lacking in my accomplishment in which, intoxicated Muse, you stoop to many frivolities, namely that I did not tell of the fluttering wings of the cock which flies, I dare say, higher than the final cloud. If nature had given a voice to its body, it would constrain all the gods to rise in the morning. Now that the facade is marked with the words decided on and one can see a biography that places its trust in its record of achievement, pray that you, Secundus, may enjoy many happy years and read the monument which you have set up!' (English, Courtney, 199.)
