TOMB 75 and 76 (continuation)
Above the entrance of the burial chamber of
tomb 76 is an inscription on a marble slab
of 32 x 54 cms. Only the right side of the plate was used, the left
side is empty:

In this inscription Marcus Antonius Pius allows
Aemilia Maiorica and Cominius Silvanus
to be burried on the right side for those entering, together with
their freed slaves and
the descendants.
