Gaius Atticus Januarius, a freedman of Gaius Atticus, one of the Six Sacris faciundis (i.e. a priestly college) and one of the Eight Men of Valetudo, bequeathed to the association (collegium) of rag-dealers 1000 sesterces. No fewer than twelve men shall use the annual income to hold a banquet at his tomb on the festival of the Parentalia. This is in the care of the association of rag-dealers
