Translation:
[ . . . ] of Zenon son of Zenon [ . . . of ?The]mison son of Zenon son of Adrastos, in which sarcophagus shall be buried the afore-mentioned Zenon and Aurelia Charition daughter of Kallikrates [·· ? ··]
Commentary:
The text was clearly continued on the sarcophagus. It is probable that the edict of Caracalla occurred within the lifetime of these persons.
