| Notes |
A funerary monument set up by a freedman to his freeborn wife. The inscription records that the monument was placed on a terrain jointly owned by the centonarii and the fabri.
The dedicant gave an endowment to the guild. The amount is not preserved but must have been substantial because the terms of the endowment stipulate that the magistri must use 200 denarii for handouts to those present, 750 denarii on oil and drinking toasts, 200 denarii for a lectisternium in memory of the deceased, and 50 denarii to place myrtle garlands on the tomb at the occasion of the lectisternium and the rosalia. In addition he gave an endowment of 30,000 sesterces to the schola of the vexillarii from the proceeds of which they have to organise a lectisternium of 250 denarii before her statue, distribute 250 denarii among those present and provide oil and drinking toasts.
Schola vexillariorum is clearly also used metonymically to indicate the vexillarii as a subdivision, but probably suggests the existence of a separate club-house/temple.

| Translation |
For Albinia Valeriana, daughter of Vettius, a most chaste woman. Publius Appius Eutyches(?) (has set up this monument). To honour her memory he has given to this guild (the sum of) … from the proceeds of which sum the masters of the guild shall yearly distribute on her birthday, the third day before the Ides of …, handouts from 200 denarii, according to their decision, among those present. They shall provide oil and drinking toasts of 750 denarii. Likewise they shall yearly prepare and solemnly perform a lectisternium (i.e. a banquet offered to the gods) of 200 denarii in memory of the same Valeriana and Appius Valerianus, her son, with assistance of the tesserarii. Likewise they shall place three myrtle-crowns (with the lectisternium) and three (more) at the time of festival of the roses in July and lily-leaves shall be strewn of 50 denarii. Also Appius Eutychianus, husband of the same Valeriana, has lavishly bestowed upon the club-house of the vexillarii the sum of 30,000 sesterces from the proceeds of which, yearly on the day mentioned above, her birthday, they shall prepare a lectisternium of 250 denarii before (her) statue (and) shall distribute handouts for themselves of 250 denarii among those present and they shall provide oil and drinking-toasts. The location (of this monument) was given by decree of the guild of craftsmen and clothmen.
