EX VIRGINIO TVO BEN
E MECO VIXISTI LIBENI C
ONIVGA INNOCENTISSI
MA CERVONIA SILVANA
REFRIGERA CVM SPIRITA

ANO II ET DIONI COSS.

Ex virginio tuo bene
mecum vixisti libeni

Cervonia Silvana
refrigera cum Spirita
Sancta dep Kal Apr.

From your girlhood you
lived a good life willingly with me, my most innocent
wife Cervonia Silvana!
May you find refreshment with the Holy
Spirit!  Buried on the Kalends of April
in the Consulship of Tiberianus (his second)
and Dio.

(p. 259)
