The grave and the area (?) . . . belong to Marcus Aurelius Apollodotos Kalliklianos. Apollodotos will be buried in it and his wife, Aurelia Tertia, their children, and their relative by marriage (i.e. son-in-law or brother-in-law), Aurelius Tatianos, will be buried in it. But it is not lawful for any other person to bury or be buried in it, unless Apollodotos decides to allow it. But the one who does anything against this will pay a fine of 500 denarii to the most sacred treasury and 300 denarii to the guild (syntechnia) of water-mill workers (hydraletoi). A copy of this inscription was put into the archives.
