Translation (by Naomi Kline): "To the deified shades. Marcia, slave of Cocceius, made (this memorial) for Aufidius, her fellow-slave, who well deserves it. He lived with me for fourteen years, ten months and eighteen days."
An epitah of Cocceia Marcia is reported found in Lambaesis, erected by her husband, Q. Mattius, probably from Ticinum. Possibly these slaves belong to that family.Collection
