Marcus Aurelius Zosimus, freedman of Cotta Maximus, adjutant to his patron. I was a freedman, I admit, but men will read that my shade was ennobled by the patronage of Cotta, who often willingly gave to me the sums of the equestrian census and bade me to beget children whom he would rear, who always entrusted his wealth to me and also dowered my daughters as if he himself were their father, adn promoted my Cottanus with the post of tribune, which he bravely served out in Caesar's camp. What did Cotta not give? Now in sorrow he has also given this epitaph for public view on my tomb. Aurelia Saturnina, wife of Zosimus.
