Sanctorum quicumq(ue) legis venerare sepulcrum / nomina nec numerum potuit retinere vetustas / ornavit Damasus tumulum cognoscite rector / pro reditu cleri Christo pr(a)estante triumphans / martyribus sanctis reddit sua vota sacerdos

Whoever reads, revere the tomb of the saints; neither antiquity nor number could retain their names. Damasus adorned the tomb; recognize, O ruler, the priest triumphing for the return of the clergy, with Christ prevailing. The priest fulfills his vows to the holy martyrs.

Tempore quo gladius secuit pia viscera matris / sexaginta duo capti feritate tyranni / ex templo ducibus missis tunc colla dedere / confessi Christum superato principe mundi / aetheriam petiere domum regnaq(ue) piorum

At the time when the sword cut through the tender flesh of the mother, sixty-two were seized by the cruelty of the tyrant. Sent by the leaders, they then offered their necks in the temple, confessing Christ, the conqueror of the world. They sought the heavenly abode and the realms of the righteous.

Dixit et hoc pater omnipotens cum [pelleret Adam] / de terra sumptus terrae traderis hu[mandus] / sic nobis sita filia e(s)t Agape C<hr=RH>ist[ique fidelis] / bis denos septemq(ue) annos emesa [quiescit] / haec illi per C<hr=RH>istum fuerat sic [plena senectus] / Eucharis est mater Pius et pater est [mihi 3] / vos precor o fratres orare huc quando veni[tis] / et precibus totis patrem natumque rogatis / sit vestrae mentis Agapes carae meminisse / ut deus omnipotens Agapen in saecula servet

The Almighty Father spoke this when He expelled Adam: 'Taken from the earth, you shall return to the earth, O mortal.' Thus, the daughter named Agape and faithful to Christ, having lived seventeen and twice ten years, rests. In Christ, her old age was so full. Pius is the father, and Eucharis is the mother to me. I beseech you, O brothers, to pray here when you come, and with fervent prayers, beseech the Father and the Son. May your beloved minds remember Agape, so that Almighty God may preserve Agape forever.
