Notes
The inscription records the setting up of (most likely) a funerary monument by a freeborn sevir urbanus and quaestor collegii of the centonarii, for himself, his sons and wife. The location was donated by the guild, probably on its common burial ground but maybe on another piece of land owned by the group. The dedicant donated 1000 sesterces for the upkeep of the monument.
The inscription specifies that the monument was set in the 'year in which the curia was inaugurated (anni quo curia / dedicata est). The term curia is here used as a local equivalent of schola to indicate the guild's club-house, but is used here metonymically to indicate the collegium (Boscolo 2002: 96 ; Liu 2009: 148-152).
