Transcription different from ICVR. Ferrua's edition shows only a drawing of the epigraph (after, it has been republished in Ferrua in ICVR, VII 19741; EDB 32173, because the slab was found in the area of the Verano). The text reprises partially (vv. 3-8) a 3rd cent. pagan elogium ICVR, V 13827Aa = CIL, VI 30135a; EDB 3774): here Ferrua's words: "exemplum antiquius paganum saec. V medio ad homine christiano esse sibi usurpatum (non restitutum, ut existimat Huelsen) nonnullis mutatis" (ICVR V 13827A, comm. ad loc. cit.). The supplements in vv. 3-8 proposed here are then based on ICVR, V 13827Aa (EDB 3774) Image by EDR: see http://www.edr-edr.it/edr_programmi/view_img.php?id_nr=121124 (Felle).
