...and anyone else to whom he gives permission while still living; it shall not be permitted for anyone else to be buried (here). Whoever tries to do so will pay to Caesar’s fisc 1,500 denarii. It shall be permitted for my son Diodoros to be buried here also.

At the time when the original inscription was cut, the owner of the grave-plot presumably did not yet know what the appropriate or permitted fine for illicit burial should be, and hence left a blank space at the end of line 7 for the figure to be inserted later. At a later date, the owner of the tomb decided that his son should also be buried in the same grave-plot, and lines 9-11 were added in a different hand from lines 1-7. The figure for the fine (1,500 denarii) was then inserted in the wrong place, after line 11, rather than in lines 7-8.
