This stone holds great prudence and many fine qualities coupled to a brief span of life. Here lies that man whose life, not (lack of) respect, denied him office, who was never outdone in merit. So that you may not enquire why office was not entrusted to him, he was entrusted to this place at the age of twenty.)
