Translation

Marcia (S M RIC EF?), 60 years old, here she lies, may the earth rest lightly upon you, Albinus and [- - -] Sextus Flavus, sons of Flaco(---)(?), had this made for their mother. Albinus Taporus of Lisangl…(?) had this made as due reward.

Commentary

Secondary location of Lisangl(…: Pl. 260594) is unlocated, but most likely within the region of the Tapori (see also Knapp and Stanley Jr. 1996: 435, MAP26BA). The exact findspot is unknown, but the stone itself is mapped to Caceres.
