    He who, while life was granted him, always lived as a miser, refraining from an heir and even hostile to himself, ordered that after he met his fate he should be artfully carved reclining here amiably, by a skilled hand. This was so that at least by lying down in death he should be able to rest, and stretching out there enjoy peace and quiet. His son, who died following the camp before the sad last rites of his father, sits to his right. And so what does this amiable image benefit the dead? They should rather have lived in this way. Gaius Rubrius Urbanus made (this) for himself and Antonia Domestica his wife, and Gnaeus Domitius Urbicus Rubrianus their son, and for their freedmen and freedwomen, and their descendants, and for Marcus Antonius Daphnus.
