An ancient epitaph in Latin in the
chateau Of Chantilly. FrGrcc, may be
translated thus:
Aelia Lselia Crispis
Neither man, nor woman nor hermaphrodite.
Neither infant, young nor old.
Neither chaste. depraved. nor modest,
But all these.
Removed neither by hunger. sword or poison.
But by all.
She lies neither In the sky nor In the water. but
everywhere.
Lucius Agatha Crispis.
Neither husband lover nor friend.
But all these
Neither weeping nor rejoicing.
But both.
Has erected this neither mausoleum. a pyramid
nor a sepulcher.
But all three,
Both knowing and net knowing to whom he hath
erected II.
This Is q tomb that holds no body,
This is a body held In tomb.
