There is a different class of inscr., belonging to the fourth century,
after the triumph of Christianity', but when the population was still in
considerable part pagan. Then a Chr. could inscribe his religion without
fear on his grave : examples are CIG 9451 Kaibel ev6a.be Kire . . . XPt0"-

The sense seems to be intended ' descendants of my blood shall have the

of full age they shall not be buried here by their children or by any other
