Inscriptions
Vos equidem nati caelestia regna videtis,
    quos rapuit parvos praecipita<ta> dies,
sed mihi quae requies onerosa in luce moranti,
    cui solus superest et sine fine dolor?
quam male de vobis fallacia gaudia vidi
    et decepturus me iugulavit amor.
reddebar teneris in vultibus ipsaque per vos
    tempora credebam lapsa redisse mihi.
sentio quid faciat spes inrita pessima sors est
    supplicii afflicto quem sua vota praemunt.


† hic depositus est Gerontius qui vixit annos IIII
et menses sex sub d(ie) VI id(us) octobris ind(ictione) prima.
† depositus est Costantius qui vixit annos duo et m(enses)
sex sub die III kalendas novembris ind(ictione) prima.
