D(ecreto) D(ecurionum)

Locus Sepulturae Publice

Datus et in funere HS MM

Antistia P(ubli) F(ilia) Prima filia

According to Cooley, this translates as -

 

To Septumia daughter of Lucius.

Granted by decree of the town councillors a burial place and 2000 sesterces for the funeral.

Antistia Prima, daughter of Publius, her daughter, built (this monument).
