TOMB 94 (continuation)
        

The enclosure consists of four columbaria and a corridor
between the burial chamber and the street. An inscription
on the right side of the enclosure describes
the subdivision made by one of the descendants of
the builders of the original tomb. On a marble slab of
30 x 35 cms we can read the following text:

D(is) M(anibus)
C(aius) GALGESTIVS HELIVS LOCO PVRO

IVNCTAM PARIETI INTRAN

After he has bought an empty place from Valeria Trophime,
Caius Galgestius Helius has added an aedicula for himself and his family to the wall on your right hand when you enter, in which you will find fourteen urns, with exception of one urn given by Trophime to Galgestius Vitalis. Another of these urns has been donated to Pomponius Chrysopolis.
