Agape

EVCHARIS EST MATER PIVS ET PATER EST [

VOS PRECOR O FRATRES ORARE HVC QVANDO VENI[

ET PRECIBVS TOTIS PATREM NATVMQVE ROGATIS

SIT VESTRAE MENTIS AGAPES CARAE MEMINISSE
VT DEVS OMNIPOTENS AGAPEN IN SAECULA SERVET

Eucharis est mater, pius et pater est [mihi Celsus].

Vos precor, O fratres, orare huc quando veni[tis]

et precibus totis Patrem Natumque rogatis:

sit vestrae mentis Agapes carae meminisse,

ut Deus omnipotens Agapen in saecula servet.

Eucharis is my mother, and my dutiful father is [Celsus].

I ask you, O brothers, to pray when you come to this place

and with all your prayers you ask the Father and the Son:

may you keep in mind dear Agape,

so that Almighty God may save Agape forever.

 

The upper right side of the stone having been lost, the conjecture [mihi Celsus] was added by the German scholar Franz Buchler.

"Agapes" and "Agapen" are Greek genitive and accusative singular forms of the name Agape, meaning "Love", and her mother's name, Eucharis, is also Greek, meaning "Thanksgiving".

Flaes

Not all Romans were Christian or Pagan.  Here is an epitaph on a marble grave marker from Naples, 4th-5th Century AD.

HIC POSITVS

EST FLAES EBR

EVS

Hic positus 

est Flaes Hebraeus.

Here is buried

Flaes the Hebrew.

Chryse

From a marble stone found in 1981 at Ostia, near the church of St. Aurea, a 3rd century martyr.

CHRYS[...

HIC DORM[...

Chrys[e]

hic dorm[it]

Chryse

sleeps here

Because "Aurea" mean golden in Latin, and "Chryse" means the same in Greek, some conjecture that this might have been the grave of the Saint herself.
