(C): Abweichende Interpretationen: Z. 2: AE 1980: [et uxori suae et fili]o; Marangio: [et uxori suai et fili]o; Z. 3: AE 1980: [l(ibertae) suae]; Marangio: [l(ibertai) suai]; Z. 5: AE 1980, Marangio: [eos hoc monumen]tum; Z. 6: AE 1980, Marangio: [ne se]quetur. Teilw. falsche Erklärung zum Namen Agathea; AE, Marangio: Erklärung des Buchstabens m in Z. 1 als Teil der Tribus nicht notwendig.
