Translation:
The sarcophagus and the place belong to Marus Aurelius Statilius Apollonios son of Apollonios son of Menestheus, in which he himself will be buried and [ . . .
Commentary:
The list was clearly continued on the sarcophagus.It seems probable that the subject was alive at the time of Caracalla's edict, and took the names Marcus and Aurelius on that occasion, but probably had Roman citizenship already (although apparently the father did not). Statilii are known in second century Aphrodisias: cf. 11.46 (=KRC 28).
