Translation:
a: [...] in accordance with the areas ceded [to him by ..?.. son of ..?.., fourth of the name from Hypsikles and recorded in the Property-archive. Of these, Aris[tokles son of Aristokles the] son of Zenon the son of Theaitetos, his son, has been buried in the sarcophagus and [in it also shall be buried Ari]stokles son of Zenon and Apphion daughter of A[..?.. the son of ..?.. the son of] Herodes, his wife; and in the [subsisiary burial places shall be buried Me]nippos son of Aristokles the son of Ze[non the son of Theaitetos] and whomsoever Zenon and Aristokles and the afore]mentioned Menippos wish. A copy [of this inscription was deposited in the Property-Archive in the] fourth stephanephorate of Tiberius Claudius Hypsikles [ ..?..] in the month of July.
b: [... ?the son] of Gortynios the son of Aristokles [..?..] out[standing in character and respectability of life [who has just] died [prematurely], it is fitting to console [the parents of those who have died, grieving for the] loss of their loved ones. For this reason [it was agreed that Aristo]kles son of
Aristokles son of Ze[non ?son of Theaitetos] should be honoured even after death with [the first honours] and his father [Aristokles] should be offered consoltation for the accidents of fate which have occurred. Goneus son of Metrodoros son of Go[neus first archon], M(arcus) Iulius Pyrros being secretary [of the People]
