This tomb was built by Scantia Silvina, daughter
of Caius. It was meant for herself and for
Lucius Scantius Eparchicus, son of Lucius, her son, and for Sulpicia
Iulitta, daughter of Marcus,
her granddaughter, and for her freed slaves, and the descendants.
The tomb could not be
inherited by strangers. The measurements were twelve feet in front
and thirteen at the back.
The owners of tomb B were related to
the owners of tomb 55. Tomb 55 was built by a certain Scantia
Salvina, the sister of Scantia Silvina, and the mother of Sulpicia
Iulitta.
