Translation

Marcia Procula, daughter of Marcus, of Patricia Colonia, 3 and a half years old, Marcus Marcius Proculus, of the Galeria tribe, of Patricia Colonia, with his home at Sucaelo, duumvir of the colonists of Colonia Patricia.

Commentary

Marcus Marcius Proculus was from the unlocated town of Sucaelo (Pl. 270374), held local office at Patricia Colonia, and commemorated the death of his young daughter, Marcia, at Iliturgicola (and himself?); she is recorded as a citizen of Patricia Colona only. They are mapped as moving from Patricia Colonia to Illiturgicola, but it should be noted that this does not tell the full story of their movement.
