Inscription: ELYSIA BEATORVM SEDES / Qui caste ac pure vixerunt homines post mortem Elysium colere credebant, ibique felicem, ac sine senecta agere aetatem, agnitisque ijs quos muto dilexerunt, cum ipsis iterum uersari, ac l[a]etari. Qui vero iniuste, ac impie egerunt, in Tartara demergi, ibique perpetuo vexari / 1. Vir ab hac vita in Elysium deductus, cara coniuge agnita, in beata fede [...] in poenam, gugaces aquas frustra ori admouet, bibliturus / In Aedibus Barberinis //

Inscription: 77 //
