Main Translation

Translation	Chryseros was my bedfellow, Rome my fatherland, empress of the entire world. My name was Themis. I leave behind four children. The boy took the same name as the father, the three girls were called Semele, Vibia, and Axia. A little illness laid me to rest quickly.
Citation	Team MAPPOLA

Other Translations

Mein Bettgenosse war Chryseros, meine Heimat Rom, die Kaiserin der ganzen Erde.
Mein Name war "Themis". Ich hinterlasse vier Kinder. Der Knabe trug den gleichen Namen
wie der Vater, die drei Mädchen hiessen Semele, Vibia und Axia. Eine kleine Krankheit hat
mich rasch zur Ruhe kommen lassen. (German, SGO)
