Marcus Servilius Maurus of Mellaria, 85 years old, here he lies, may the earth rest lightly upon you, Servilia Festa had this made for her patron.

Commentary

Two locations in Baetica known as Mellaria, but likely to be the one that is relatively near (32km); the other Mellaria (Pl. 256293) is 275km away from findspot. It is possible that this inscription could be linked to Baedro.
