Edition ἡ σορὸς καὶ ἰσώστη Αὐρηλίου εραττ
Apparatus

l. 1, there was perhaps a reference to the εἰσωσται (ἰσωσται) but one would have expected the article before it; the opening of the owner's name in the genitive case ended the line, and the beginning of l. 2 suggests that he was a Roman citizen and, given the likely date, with the nomen Aurelius (though this cannot be certain).

Translation

The sarcophagus and the burial [places are the property of Aurelius Erat
