TOMB 89 (continuation)

Not long after the closing a second burial chamber was built against the back-wall of
the enclosure and the side wall of tomb 90 (89A). Above the entrance of this chamber we find
the following inscription on a marble slab of 30 x 41 cms:

Messia Candida has erected <this monument> for her very beloved husband and for herself, her freedmen with their children. Permission to use the place has been given by the two of the family Gabinius, Chresimus and Entychus, and by the two of the family Antonius, Iulianus and Polio with thoroughfare, walk around and free entrance.
