(H) ic podtus ets (est) Leo, qui vxxit annos XXVI. Dipositu$ 

 (depositus) VIII Idus Octohres, natus est Tauro et Florentio Con-

"Here has been laid Leo, who lived twenty-six years. Buried on the 

 eighth day before the Ides of October. He was born in the Consulship 

 of Taurus and Florentius," i.e. 361, a.d. 



As Leo was twenty-six years of age at his death, it it evident 

 that this epitaph is of the date, October 8th, 386, a.d.

" Here rests, in the sleep of peace, Mala, who lived thirty-eight years, 

 five months, five days. Eeceived before God, on the fourth day before 

 the Ides of June, in the Consulship of Aetius," i.e. June 10th, 432, a.d. 



1. 1. Requiescet. As if it were of the second conjugation: similarly 

 quiescet and requiescent, for quicscit and requiescunt. In Gruter, 

 998, 10, we have Hie requiescent, in a heathen inscription, said of 

 the living, i.e. we have the ordinary future.
