Apparatus

Translation

. . .] to the most sacred treasury [ . . . in the burial-niches ] be buried [ . . .

Commentary

From a funerary text. Supplements are suggested based on the basis of standard formulae. They must give the approximate sense if not the exact words. L.1 comes from the arrangement for use of money taken in a fine for misuse of the main burial place; l. 2 indicates that the tomb was a complex one calling for a second account of who might be placed in subsidiary burial places.
