comment
»Sacred to the spirits of the dead. You excelled all girls in beauty and learning, my dear Julia, snatched away
because of your father’s fate. Nothing is more valuable than gold or precious jewellery [cylindro], nothing is more beautiful than Tyrian and Laconian purple and nothing more brilliant than Parian and Carystian marble, nothing could possibly be better or more beautiful in shape. No woolworker could compete with Arachne. You surpassed in song the Sirens and the sisters, the daughters of Pandion, in beauty everything that has been praised most highly, you who were born of a Greek father, Heros. When I was sixteen years old, I was snatched away by devastating death. I, Julia Paula, now lie buried in this tomb.« [H.S. Nielsen]
