Translation of a Latin epitaph on Lelia Crispis and Lucius Agatho Priscus
The Latin epitaph fragment portrays Lelia Crispis as neither male nor female nor hermaphrodite, neither a whore nor chatte yet all. It notes a death by all causes and a location everywhere. Lucius Agatho Priscus is described as neither husband nor friend, neither sad nor glad, with a tomb that is neither pile nor sepulchre but all. The piece discusses varied interpretations, from rainwater to soul or love, and notes scholars disagree on its meaning.
