Main Translation

Translation [---] they ordered the father, it would’t happen [---] now she enjoys her mother's care in the fields of the Lord and the mother was able to bury her crying body. The one who now only possesses this epitaph not with hostility [---], but it should rather be honoured with solemn gifts. I, the one who died, am Surila, daughter of Chloe (?)
