Found just before 1905. Only the fines for violation of the grave remain for this fragmentary epitaph.
. . . and no one else is permitted to be buried in it. Now if anyone (?) . . . dares to do so, that person will pay a fine of 1000 denarii to the synagogue (synagōgē) of the Judeans and 2000 denarii to the treasury. Farewell!
