found near the tomb 95, probably belongs to the tomb:

Marcus Antonius Vitalis and Marcus Antonius Verus,
son of Marcus, have made
<this monument> for themselves and for their freedmen with
their descendants. However,
if, after the death of Marcus Antonius Vitalis, somebody prefers,
in one way or another,
to sell, donate or alienate the monument, bring in the monument
or in one of the walls of
the enclosure a body or bones of persons with a name not standing
on the list below,
he will pay for each body a penalty of three-thousend sesterces
to those who take care of
the Lares of Portus. The monument cannot be inherited by strangers.
