Funerary stele acquired around 1613 by Peiresc in Aix, but which probably comes from Marseille or its region (exact place unknown). Lost, then found again. It is possible that the name of the deceased was engraved on the first line or appeared just before the epigram. The final Latin formula implies that the deceased was from Marseilles, hence the lack of ethnicity. The versified text evokes the death of a young man, a sailor, who died before getting married, but not at sea.
Stèle funéaire acquise vers 1613 par Peiresc à Aix, mais qui provient sans doute de Marseille ou de sa région (lieu exact inconnu). Perdue, puis retrouvée. Il est possible que le nom du défunt ait été gravé sur la première ligne ou ait figuré juste avant l'épigramme. La formule latine finale implique que le défunt était marseillais, d'où l'absence d'ethnique. Le texte versifié évoque la mort d'un jeune homme, un marin, décédé avant de se marier, mais pas en mer. |
