Main Translation

Translation	An altar to the Manes and to the innocence of Hipponicus, slave of Dignilla, wife of Iunius Pastor, legionary legate of the Legio XXII Primigenia Pia Fidelis. Hedyepes and Genesia, his parents, put this up. As soon as he grew up, strong, with a beautiful face (withholding the countenance and appearance of Cupid, such that I fear not calling him an Apollo), the Fates envied him, as he reached three times a hundred and three times ten days, for the celebration of his birthday and, while he was already so dear among his friends, he ceased to be loved for the grudge of the gods.
Citation	Fabio Spalla

Other Translations

Tan pronto como creció con una gran fuerza y un hermoso rostro, luciendo el aspecto y las maneras de Cupido y hasta me atrevería a decir «apolíneo», cumplidos sus trescientos treinta días, las parcas no le concedieron celebrar su primer cumpleaños, y, siendo ya tan querido por sus amigos, por culpa del odio de los dioses, dejó de ser amado. (Spanish, C. Fernández Martínez)
Ein Altar für die Manen und die Unschuld des Hipponicus, Sklave der Dignilla, der Frau des Iunius Pastor, des Legionslegaten der Legio XII Primigenia Pia Fidelis, (sc. gesetzt von) Hedyepes und Genesia, seinen Eltern. Sobald er in das Jugendalter eintrat, strotzend vor Kraft, mit hübschem Antlitz (er hatte das Gesicht und die Haltung des Cupido, und ich scheue mich nicht, ihn dem Apollo gleichend zu nennen), da neideten ihm die Parzen nach dreimal einhundert und drei mal zehn Tagen, seinen Geburtstag feierlich zu begehen, und durch die Missgunst der Himmlischen – so beliebt er bei seinen Freunden auch war – war er nun kein Objekt der Liebe mehr. (German, P. Kruschwitz)
Esta ara para los dioses manes y la inocencia de Hipónico, esclavo de Dignilla (esposa de) Junio Pastor, legado de la Legión XXII Primigenia Pia Fidelis, Hediepes y Genesia sus padres. Tan pronto como maduró con gran fuerza y con hermoso rostro, con el aspecto y la apariencia de Cupido, y no temeré decir “apolíneo”, cumplidos trescientos treinta días, las Parcas envidiosas de que celebrara su día solemne y, siendo ya tan querido por sus amigos, por el odio de los dioses dejó de ser amado. (Spanish, Y. López Sánchez)
Hedyepes and Genesia, his parents, had this altar made for the spirits of the departed and for the innocence of Hippponicus, slave of Dignilla, wife of Iunius Pastor, legate of the Legio XXII Primigenia Pia Fidelis.
As soon as he matured, capable in his strength, with a beautiful face: he had the facial features and characteristics
of Cupid, and I am not afraid to say he was like Apollo.
After three hundred and thirty complete days
of that boy’s life, the Fates were envious to celebrate his appointed
day, and now, although he was dear to his friends,
the envy of the gods above withdrew his ability to be loved. (English, P. Faithfull, p. 654f.)
