Epitaph for Festus

Hic Festus iacet, cognoscite fratres, quem puerum, Christe, monuisti spernere mundum. pro meritis credo quia sancta luce fruetur. bis duodenos necdum conpleverat annos. conposuit versos Marcianus. Epitaphios Festo

Here lies Festus, know brothers, Whom, O Christ, you warned as a boy to spurn the world. For his merits I believe he enjoys the holy light. Not quite twice twelve years he completed. Marcianus composed these lines. Epitaph for Festus
