The inscription on the mausoleum in the Archaeological Museum of Arlon is almost intact. It gives information about the beneficiaries of the funerary monument.
The text is written in neat, regular capital letters. The words are separated by incised triangles. On either side of the first line, the letters D M are larger. These indicate a dedication to the Manes gods, who are the symbolic representation of the deceased souls. It also reads:
D(is) Sex(to) Veruicio M(anibus)
Modestino et Veru
iciae Modestinae
parentes fecerun(t)
The inscription can be translated as follows:
To the Manes Gods. To Sextus Vervicius Modestinus and Vervicia Modestina, their parents had (this monument erected).
This monument was erected in memory of two children, a brother and a sister. The deceased is called by the tria nomina (Sextus Vervicius Modestinus) and the deceased by the nomen (Vervicia) and cognomen (Modestina). This means that these people wanted to present themselves as free Roman citizens.
