To the spirits of the dead of Melior, the arithmetician, who lived thirteen years. He had such knowledge and memory that he mastered all other men’s treatises, from as far as the ancients could recall up to the day of his death. The individual things which he knew could be written in a book rather than a single treatise, for the commentaries showing his skill that he left he was the first to compose, and he alone was able to imitate himself, had the grudging fates of human life not envied him. Sextus Aufustius Agreus, a most unfortunate teacher, made (this) for this slave born in his master’s home. Across the front two feet, to the rear six. He died in the 897th year after the founding of the city.
