Statements
You who wore the cap, the mark of the flamen Dialis, death caused everything that belonged to you, your honour, reputation, courage, glory and talents, to be short-lived. If you had been allowed to enjoy these in a long life, you would easily have outshone the glory of your ancestors. Therefore, Publius Cornelius Scipio, scion of Publius, the earth gladly receives you into her bosom.

Tú que llevaste el insigne bonete de sacerdote de Júpiter, la muerte logró que todo lo tuyo fuese efímero: el honor, el renombre, el valor, la gloria y el talento. Y si se te hubiese permitido disfrutar de todo ello en una larga vida, fácilmente, con tus hechos, hubieses superado el buen nombre de tus antepasados. Por ello, de buena gana te acoge la tierra en su seno, Publio Cornelio Escipión, nacido de Publio.
