Claudia Hippodameia constructed the tomb for herself and for Euelpistos and my adoptive child Glykon; it shall not be permitted for anyone else; if not, he who attempts it will pay 500 denarii to the fisc.

For the name Hippodameia at Eumeneia, cf. Ramsay, Phrygia II 385, no. 227; Drew-Bear 1978: 93-4, IV 29 SEG 28, 1154. On the term θρεπτός, see Cameron 1939; MAMA IX lxiv-lxvi; Ricl 2009.
