And he enjoined the lex established by them to be written out in full at the bottom of the tetrastylum of Antinous on the inner side so as to produce the words written below.In the consulship of Marcus Antonius Hiberus and Publius Mummius Sisenna, on January 1, the salutary collegium of Diana (…) and Antinous was established, when Lucius Caesennius Rufus son of Lucius, of the Quirine tribe, was dictator for the third time and also patron.Clause from the decree of the Senate of the Roman People: ‘These shall be permitted to (…), convene and have a collegium: those who wish to collect a monthly fee (…) may gather in this collegium; but (…) not (…) in the name of this collegium except once a month for the purpose of (…), from which they shall be buried after their demise’.May this be [avourable, propitious, happy and salutary to the Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus and to the entire domus Augusta, to us, to ours, and to our collegium; and may we have entered into an opportune and diligent agreement so that we may escort with honour the departure of the deceased. Therefore to collecting in a proper manner must we all agree, so that we may be able to continue in existence for a long time.You who want to enter this collegium as a new member, first read the lex in its entirety and enter in such a manner that later you may not make a complaint or leave a dispute to your heir.Lex of the collegium:It was agreed by all that whoever wants to enter this collegium shall give as apro capite fee 100 sesterces and an amphora of good wine, and likewise per month five asses (1.25 sesterces).

But if a member has died farther away, more than twenty miles from the municipium, and his death has been impossible to report, then he who has carried out his funus, once the tablets containing the testimonies] have been stamped with the seals of seven Roman citizens and the matter has been approved, shall claim for himself his funeraticium from the collegium, once security has been given that noone else is going to claim any more and the incidentals and the amount spent at the obsequies in accordance with the lex of the collegium have been deducted. Let no bad faith attend. And there shall be no claim from either patron or patroness, master or mistress, or creditor against this collegium unless one of them has been named heir in a testament.
